Volcanic eruption in the Canary Islands – Palma canceled a number of flights and closed schools

The western and northwestern parts of the island are most affected by ash. At the same time, the flow of lava, moving southward, intensified.

Due to the deteriorating air, authorities have suspended full-time education in schools in five municipalities indefinitely.

Since the beginning of this day, 50 small earthquakes have been recorded on Palma. Their amplitude did not exceed 3.6.

Air carrier Binter canceled flights until at least Tuesday.

The Pevolca Crisis Team, which was created by the government, made appropriate recommendations to the local people, namely:

  • close windows and turn off ventilation;
  • not to leave the house;
  • if necessary, wear protective masks so as not to inhale ashes and use protective goggles;
  • close water tanks;
  • do not allow children to play with ash.
