That was my confusion: El Hierro has already done this once; it’s the model for La Palma’s future... or something like that. I’m no seismologist/vulcanologist/geologist, but I watch the Discovery channel.

Yeah El Hierro is a volcano with many faces. It has had tremendous explosive events(though discounted by some) and those scoria building events like we saw this past fall.

However more than enough evidence suggests that it was a huge displacement caused by El Hierro that produced our last known giant tsunami.
