Quakes migrate southwards into Las Calmas Sea Update Wed 27 Jun 20:09 Earthquakes are still at 20 km depth and continue at high rate (more than 150 >M1.5 today, mostly larger than M2). Accompanied by harmonic tremor, their location is migrating southwards into the Las Calmas Sea. In other words, magma continues to move southwards and the question is whether or not it will at some point start rising to the surface. Seismic signal on 27 June (IGN) Location of the latest quakes (AVCAN) Location of the latest quakes (AVCAN) Strong deformation detected, yellow alert for El Julan area Finally, INVOLCAN has published the important information that during the last 2 days significant and rapdid inflation was measured in the southern part of the island: At the El Pinar station, there has been horizontal eastward displacement of 2 cm and northward of 3 cm. The vertical displacement was 2 cm. This deformation is most likely caused by the accumulating magma underneath, and it is much faster than those observed last year 2011 prior to the eruption south of La Restinga. A "yellow alert" has been declared for the El Verodal or the western tip of the island and the southern area in the El Julan bay, where most quakes are located, and an eruption could be imminent. ---------- "Even a dog knows the difference between being stumbled over and being kicked." -Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes "Neither the wisest Constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt." -Samuel Adams 2012-06-27 17:22:30 Permalink

The one that may cause a Mega-Tsunami if it breaks in half and slides into the ocean? ---------- Every country has the government it deserves. - Joseph de Maistre 2012-06-27 21:33:00 Permalink
