| Summary: | A submarine eruption close to the La Restinga village (south of El Hierro island, Canary Archipelago, Spain) started october the 13th 2011 and is still (1st february 2012) ongoing. During some weeks the eruption was manifested by a discoloured plume (green) of dissolved gas (and probably suspended fine-sized particles) marking the site of submarine vents on the sea surface, and by the punctual emission of a rare type of decimetre to metre-sized buoyant pyroclasts, ovoid in shape. |
