Scientists from the National Geological Institute (IGN) who have been observing seismic activity on the Island of El Hierro as part of the earthquake swarm, which began on the 17th of July last year, have recorded a total of 26 earthquakes over the course of the last 10 days - significantly more than seen in the ten day period prior to this and an indication that the activity is showing no sign of subsiding.
As in previous weeks and months, the majority of the activity took place between Frontera and Pinar in the centre of the Island, with magnitudes ranging between 1.1 to 3.2 on the richter scale, and at depths that have been on average much shallower than seen over previous months, at between 9 to 16 kms.
A further 3 activities were recorded off the South-Eastern coast of Tenerife, all measuring over 2.0 on the richter scale.
Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the Island in the bay of las Calmas, off the coast of las Restinga, the jacuzzi caused by the underwater volcanic eruption is continued to bring smouldering 'pyroclastic' lava rocks to the surface.
