LaPalma, like the other islands of the Canary Islands archipelago, is a volcanic ocean island.Their name for LaPalma was Benahoare. The main remnants of this culture are their cave dwellings, enigmatic petroglyphs and paved stone paths through the mountains. To understand what happened during the volcaniceruption on LaPalma in 2021, we first need to find out about its geological context.

Context Explanation

The “Isla Bonita” is one of the youngest islands in the Canarian archipelago and is still in an active stage of formation. Jun 4, 2024 · Following the 2021 eruption at LaPalma, Canary Islands, seismic activity has persisted that may be a precursor to future volcanic activity. Here we perform an updated deformation and modeling study that characterizes the evolution of the remaining magma in the SW area of the island.

Insight Material

Only a small percentage of its territory was affected, meaning the island’s natural and cultural wonders remain intact and ready to discover. Today, it is possible to approach and safely admire the new volcanic landscapes created by Tajogaite. Our results have great scientific and social impact and offer improved understanding of pre- and syn-eruptive activity, along with the possible future volcanic scenarios in LaPalmaIsland.
