Been watching the lava fountain off and on this morning, gets a little higher as time goes by, reminds me of a pressure relief on a boiler, and the building size boulders floating down with the lava is cool

I'd love to see the CO2/H2O ratio of that gas column over time.

Makes me wonder how much material is being hollowed out down deep and if the deep magma is moving up

I'm not volcanologist and I hate staying at Holiday Inns but it seems to me if the volcano is venting and oozing lava the way Klauea volcano in Hawaii does then there isn't much of chance of it exploding like Mt. St. Helens, sliding into the ocean and putting the east coast under a 100ft wave.

Nature article on the Canary Islands magmatic system

The deepest (most voluminous) is the one we want to watch. Oceanic crust tends to be higher in water and CO2 content than continental basement rock, which may itself be higher in gas content than deep-formation melt. What the gases are doing tells a lot about deeper magma activity. Something known as gas sparging is postulated to be the melt
mechanism when a plume head impinges on crustal rock.

This is what makes Yellowstone and other hot spot powered calderas so explosive at times...the plume material will typically flow gently like flood basalts upon reaching the surface - but melt a lot of the chamber roofs, sides, etc. and mix that into the upwelling magma, you'll get an earth-shattering kaboom.

Now back to two large lava fountains.  this thing changes every damn time I click on it and it is always getting stronger and stronger.  Should be an incredible show soon when it gets dark there.

ARFCom group buy?

We did my ladyfriend's flower beds and yard accents with small lava rocks last year...about the size of the stuff that's raining down on the towns below the vents. If anyone has access to earth moving equipment and a few dozen self loading/unloading cargo ships. I see money to be made.

You know someone's going to.

That is excellent, thanks for sharing it!
makes you wonder if what we have seen thus far is just a small warmup. That's considerably more activity than what showed up prior to this current eruption happening. If a bigger eruption happens further up the ridge, people are going to lose their shit.

The one with the predominantly solid horizontal multi color lines is a 24H seismogram plot.

Look up "harmonic tremor" and that's what you're seeing. Nice, healthy flow of magma into the system.

You'd get the same effect if you put a hydrophone on the outside of a pipe with gas or liquid flowing though it.

That's roughly the shape of the two magma chambers beneath the island.

See the 3.7 below the bottom cluster? That's indicative of a fresh upwelling of magma into the top chambers. Also means "business as usual" for the volcano for a while.

Lava sampling.

They'll also run a gas collection probe into that "skylight" so the H2S, CO2 and H2O ratios can be evaluated.

Slightly off topic:

There are many subject areas I don't know much about, and I come here to interact with my peers and betters to learn.

When I get the chance to give back, I do. The current day job is a polar opposite of geology, volcanology...Earth science in general, yet all of those systems can affect what I do in both a positive and negative sense. So I study everything I can about everything I can.

Back to the eruption...I'm going to look at the seismo plots later and see if there's a directional trend to them. As the hot spot migrates, so too will the eruptive center.

I read something around the time this thing first kicked off about undersea activity being detected south of the island. Would make sense if the fault which has currently opened up extends away in that direction.

Off to find a fault map if one exists.
