The Cumbre Vieja volcano, in La Palma, has temporarily stopped emitting lava, smoke and ash, while registering a significant drop in volcanic tremor. However, this coincides with the reactivation of seismic activity this Monday morning, which has moved south, with 16 earthquakes located in the northern area of Fuencaliente, according to the National Geographic Institute (IGN).

The most intense earthquake was located at 06.05 hours and at a depth of 10 kilometers, and in general, all are above magnitude 2 and at depths ranging between 9 and 13 kilometers.

Meanwhile, scientists are analyzing this paralysis of emissions in Cumbre Vieja and from Involcan they point out that in the last hours the volcanic tremor "has almost disappeared", as has the Strombolian explosive activity.
