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.
