Scientists, pending if the volcano's rebound is punctual or activity is revived

Scientists who follow the evolution of the La Palma volcano are pending whether the increase in deep seismicity and the emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2), which yesterday showed a value of between 31,000 and 43,000 tons, is a one-off rebound or breaks the decreasing trend that it had been showing.

Francisco Prieto, spokesman for the steering committee of the Canary Islands Volcanic Emergency Plan (Pevolca), has spoken of "a small rebound" in two of the variables that allow analyzing the state of health of the eruptive process, and has noted that for a long time They have been warning of this possibility.

In line with the above, María José Blanco, spokesperson for the scientific committee, has noted that for weeks they have been warning of the probable occurrence of felt earthquakes, and has added that within a phase of "stability" the system has the capacity to readjust they can cause this seismicity "quite large in number and magnitude".

Regarding the evolution of the flows, Francisco Prieto has indicated that the lava in principle continues to fill and make the number 2 grow on the surface, the one that has reached the sea at the Guirres beach, and has added that it will probably end up having a filling between runs 1 and 9 in the next few days.

While scientists continue to study the evolution of the volcanic eruption, administrations continue to study how to restore connectivity in this area of ​​the island, whose communication routes have been affected.
