Spain: La Palma could see powerful earthquake as volcano eruption slows LA PALMA could experience a 6.0 magnitude earthquake as the island's volcanic eruption starts to slow. The volcano on the Canary Island has caused chaos since it erupted on September 19. La Palma: Volcano erupts and lava flows on Spanish island The Cumbre Vieja volcano could cause an earthquake of more than 6.0 magnitude as it starts to slow. Experts have said they have seen signs the end of the eruption is in sight for the first time. Scientists have said they are seeing “positive signs” that the eruption on the island is starting to slow. Carmen López, spokesperson for the emergency committee Pevolca, said the decrease in sulfur dioxide emissions and increased earthquakes could signal the end of the chaos. A third earthquake of 5.0 magnitude was detected yesterday in La Palma while other areas suffered “very unfavourable” levels of air quality. Lopez said there was now light at the end of the tunnel of the volcanic drama that has destroyed over 1,000 homes.

The island’s airport has regained operation and it is expected better weather conditions will disperse gases and particles in the atmosphere. A spokesperson for Aena, the airport authority, said the airports were open but passengers were advised to check the status of their flight.
