La Palma volcano fears: Canary Islands struck by EARTHQUAKE overnight

North of the Spanish archipelago was struck by the 3.5 magnitude quake at 8.25pm on Tuesday night. 

The seismic activity is just the latest to hit the Spanish islands, popular with British holidaymakers, after it was struck by a flurry of earthquakes beneath the surface causing red-hot magma to lift the ground of La Palma. 

Experts investigating recent tremors from La Palma volcano Cumbre Vieja – which saw nearly 400 mini earthquakes in 15 hours – found the earth has risen up to 3.5cm in the past year.

And, after four days of inactivity, La Palma recorded another tremor last week when a 1.9 magnitude quake was felt nine kilometres deep.

A hydrogeochemical monitoring programme has been set up in a bid to strengthen monitoring of the Canary Islands volcano. 

This programme will see scientists sample subterranean waters and PH levels, conductivity, temperature and radon dissolved gas activity. 

La Palma is composed of two large volcanic centres. 

The younger 1949-metre-high Cumbre Vieja, the southern volcano, is one of the most active in the Canaries. 

But it is due to blow at any moment because its last eruption was back in 1971.
