This is Part 4 of the El Hierro Volcano eruption report
Update 17/10 – 21:30 UTC : – During a PEVOLCA meeting this evening was decided that a decision for the return of the people to La Restinga has been postponed to 4:00 PM (16:00) tomorrow, due to the present bad air quality (very strong sulfurous odor blowing today in the La Restinga direction). The inhabitants of La Restinga have been invited tomorrow at 4 PM in the cultural center of El Pinar to receive the decision directly from Mr. Santana, the person in charge of the safety measures.
- Another decision which has been taken was the reopening of the Los Roquillos tunnel from 08:00 until 20:00 (8 AM until 8 PM) but only for emergency vehicles, trucks of more than 3,500 kilos and transport of dangerous goods.
Update 17/10 – 20:43 UTC : We notice a serious change in harmonic tremors since approx. 1 hour. Explaining what has happened should be highly speculative. We leave it to the scientists.
Update 17/10 – 19:40 UTC : People are getting nervous and cannot wait any longer to see the steam columns. If they do not see them in the sea their imagination will create them. Some pleasant person called a couple of Canary Island newspapers and told them that he had spotted geysers in the sea. The news was denied by the officials.
Update 17/10 – 19:28 UTC : The “Ramon Margalef” oceanographic ship which will leave Vigo tomorrow morning, will have a crew of 12 people, 2 technicians and approx. 10 scientists + our friend the ROV Read the rest and see video's go to:
