After several hours of meetings and some initial discrepancies, the scientists participating in the Volcanic Phenomena Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (Pevolca) reached a consensus.The seismic movements that occurred in the southwest of Tenerife on 2 October are of volcanic origin.As the very low intensity tremors are not considered to suppose any risk to the population, the Government of the Canary Islands is maintaining a situation of normality on the island. As as additional measure, the National Geographical Institute will install a seismic station in Vilaflor to assess whether there is an increase in activity.
