Scientists predict longest eruption in 500 years

The high levels of emission of

sulfur dioxide

together with the

appearance of new nozzles

and other

pouring

, the

rebound in tremor and seismicity

make scientists think that an end is not in sight.

So much so that "perhaps we will get to exceed" the 84 days of the eruption of Tehuya (1646), the

longest in the last 500 years on La Palma

, Francisco Prieto, spokesman for the Steering Committee of the Plan of Canary Volcanic Emergencies (

Pevolca

).

"Unfortunately, the forecast is that the eruption will not end in the short term,"

added Prieto, who said that the crisis committee is attentive to the evolution of the new laundry that, for the moment, runs close to the one so far located more to the north.
