Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez arrived in La Palma, the most northwesterly island of the archipelago, late on Sunday for talks with the islands' government on managing the eruption. Stavros Meletlidis, a doctor of volcanology at the Spanish Geographical Institute, said the eruption had torn five holes in the hillside and that he could not be sure how long it would last. King Felipe spoke with Torres and was following the developments, the royal household said. La Palma had been on high alert after more than 22, tremors were reported in the space of a week in Cumbre Vieja, a chain of volcanoes that last had a major eruption in and is one of the most active volcanic regions in the Canaries.

Kelut volcano photos A new lava dome grew inside the crater lake during the effusive eruption in late , replacing most of the lake. Watch the birth of a new mountain! Get the ad-free version! Weather clouds obscured views during November with the top of the cloud deck varying at altitudes of Ash plumes were typically dissipating within 50 km of the volcano.
Report for Great Sitkin AVO reported that lava flows at Great Sitkin were approximately m long on the W flank, m long on the S flank, and 90 m long on the N flank by 30 October based on satellite images.
Lava effusion probably continued during November, though weather clouds prevented visual confirmation. Elevated surface temperatures were occasionally detected in satellite images during and November. Seismicity was low overall, though slightly increased during November. Seismicity remained elevated; several small explosions and discontinuous tremor were recorded during November with increased frequency compared to the previous week.
The explosions likely produced small, low-level ash plumes, though weather clouds often prevented confirmation by satellite and webcam images. Elevated surface temperatures were visible in satellite images overnight during November, coincident with the emplacement of a m-long lava flow. Small diffuse ash plumes were visible in webcam images and dissipated quickly.
Elevated surface temperatures remained visible through 9 November. Lava entered the lake through a short channel in the E part of the W wall cone, feeding the lake which had risen 56 m since 29 September; the channel was covered with a cooled crust by 3 November.
Lava began to flow over the E edge of the lava lake, which is perched above the crater floor, by 4 November. The sulfur dioxide emission rate was 1,, tonnes per day during November and tonnes per day during November. Low roiling and bursts of spatter from the small perched pond in the W vent cone were observed; activity at the vent had decreased by 8 November, along with the area of active lava at the surface of the main lava lake, then returned to higher levels by 9 November.
The event was followed by a small series of low-energy explosions that generated ash plumes that rose m high and drifted N and NE. Another small eruption was recorded on 7 November. Deformation data indicated minor changes. Low-temperature thermal anomalies were visible in satellite images during the previous week.
Gas-and-steam emissions were sometimes visible in satellite data and webcam images rising as high as 1.
