El Hierro, Living in the Shadow of A Volcano: New RapidEye satellite Image El Hierro

Data Update 15/11 – 13:24 UTC :
- since midnight UTC 14 earthquakes greater than M 1.5 occurred at El Hierro.
- except one, all of the earthquakes occurred NW of Frontera
- the depth of the hypocenter was ranging from 16 km (shallowest) to 25 (deepest)
- the strongest earthquake happened at 08:52, had an epicenter in the El Golfo bay close to the beach and had a magnitude of 3.4
- harmonic tremor is still very strong and gets even stronger as IGN had to scale down the amplitude tremor in the hourly graph.

Update 15/11 – 13:03 UTC :
The satellite company RapidEye has uploaded a new HD-satellite image taken on November 13. The November 13 picture is not disclosing a lot of additional details. NO brown or dark grey stains above vents as seen in the older images. The many different grey stain areas are shadows from the clouds above. The only place where we suspect that it is a vent is the white patch in front of La Restinga. We once again want to send our congratulations to the RapidEye company in offering these images to the many interested readers in the world (also thanks to Antonio Silva in telling us that the image was published)

Update 15/11 – 12:16 UTC :
People watching the activity at the Naos mountain (Montaña Naos), 150 meter above the sea

The view point crowed at sunset. Very scary this volcano... ;)

Update 15/11 – 11:15 UTC :
It seems the fishes are recovering around La Restinga, there is a local lady from La Restinga going around to look for them each day. While you still see some dead (but long dead) fishes in the harbour, there are a lot of little ones swimming around. In a small “refuge” in waters east of the harbour, under some sort of lava cave (the place had a name and a sign, but I forgot), there are a lot of large fishes. Hope seems to be coming back to La Restinga.
