New quakes hit La Palma
SEVERAL small earthquakes have shaken the Spanish island of La Palma, keeping nerves on edge as rivers of lava continued to flow towards the sea and a new volcano vent blew open.
The new vent is 3,000 feet north of the Cumbre Vieja ridge, where the volcano first erupted on Sunday after a week of thousands of small earthquakes.
The new fissure opened after what the Canary Islands Volcanology Institute said was a 3.8 magnitude quake on Monday.
