Harmonic tremor remains low however, so there is not a lot of energy in this eruption at the moment. Spikes in the tremor chart are most likely explosions taking place in the eruption area.  <em>Copyright of this picture belongs to IGN (Instituto Geogr\u00e1fico Nacional).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The eruption appears to have started again following an new dike intrusion from great depth into El Hierro volcano. This was followed by few earthquakes. All of them where small. If more new magma flows into El Hierro volcano this new eruption episode is going to increase in strength and in power. But it is hard to be sure if that is going to happen or not.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/AibJwSRCIAARONS.jpg_large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/AibJwSRCIAARONS.jpg_large.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"AibJwSRCIAARONS.jpg_large\" width=\"660\" height=\"412\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/AibJwSRCIAARONS.jpg_large.jpg 660w, https:\/\/icelandgeology.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/AibJwSRCIAARONS.jpg_large-300x187.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nEruption area in El Hierro volcano.
