La Palma Earthquake Swarm

No.13648371 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Since September 12, a swarm of earthquakes has plagued the SW coast of La Palma island, in the Canaries - West of a troublesome fault line created by displacement accumulated in past eruptions. There have been longstanding, sensationalized concerns of a landslide caused by intrusion of magma therein that could displace a significant volume of water in the Atlantic; leading to Tsunami of debated intensity along the Atlantic coastlines.

I visited Spain's National Geographic Institute (Institute Geographic National) website to review GPS trackers placed throughout the region of interest. I like geology, but I am no expert. Can any geology anons provide insight into this GPS data (picrel).

It would appear as though the ROI has shifted southwestward to the tune of ~5.6 cm since 12/09/21. Is this magnitude of movement significant?
