The seismic event, detected this Thursday, April 9, 2026, originated at a depth of approximately 30 kilometers. Although it was felt by the population, the IGN has not yet specified the exact localities where it was perceived or the precise intensity reached on the surface.

The Enmedio volcano area is under constant monitoring by experts due to its history of activity. Last February, a 4.1 magnitude earthquake with intensity III was recorded in the same vicinity, felt in numerous municipalities on both islands.

This underwater volcanic edifice was first mapped in 1994. It has a conical shape with a basal diameter of about 3.5 kilometers and is located at a depth ranging between 2,140 and 2,350 meters below sea level.

Despite being submerged, the Enmedio volcano is a considerable underwater mountain, with an estimated height of between 560 and 730 meters. Its summit lies about 1,625 meters below the sea surface. Scientific authorities continue to monitor seismic activity in this region, as part of the usual geological tracking of the Canary archipelago.
