La Palma Why experts predict that the volcano is fading: "it languishes" and "does not feed back"
Although in a descending line and with less energy, according to experts, the Cumbre Vieja volcano remains
active almost two months
after the start of its eruption, with
the lava advancing over the sea
and expanding the strips.
The lava from the volcano has continued to advance over the sea, especially through stream 9, located to the south, which has already reached the water, so that
the lava delta
generated by the eruption occupies an area of 40.9 hectares from the shore , according to calculations by the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME).
The
area affected by the lava
from the volcano in Cumbre Vieja amounts to 1,034.3 hectares, according to the latest estimate by the Cabildo de La Palma.
They are almost 15 hectares more than the last data that managed the Volcanic Emergency Plan of the Canary Islands (Pevolca) and ten more than the last measurement of the European Copernicus satellite system.

The lava advances over the sea and occupies almost 41 hectares from the shore
The lava from the La Palma volcano has continued to advance over the sea, especially along stream 9, located to the south, which has already reached the water, so that the lava delta generated by the eruption occupies an area of 40.9 hectares from the shore, according to calculations by the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME).
The technical director of the Special Plan for Civil Protection and Emergency Assistance for Volcanic Risk of the Canary Islands (Pevolca) Miguel Ángel Morcuende, has explained that the greatest energy of the lava is concentrated in flows 4 and 7, in the central zone of the affected area .
Pevolca's scientific spokesperson, María José Blanco, has reported that sulfur dioxide (SO2) is between 12,000 and 15,000 tons per day, higher than the values recorded on Sunday, but within the downward trend from the highs of 50,000 tons per day. last September 23rd.
