La Palma volcano eruption update

New cracks open at cone generating new lava flows

The cone complex above the original eruptive fissure is showing signs of becoming more and more unstable, as several new effusive vents have been opening up during the past 12 hours or so.

Lava continues to flow into the ocean - risk of collapse increases

Once the delta expands further westwards, it will be sitting on steeper underwater slopes, and the risk of gravitational collapses increases. Such collapses can be very dangerous as they usually trigger strong explosions, large acid steam plumes and could even generate small local tsunamis.
