An intrusion of magma is now confirmed to be ongoing at a volcano in Portugal, specifically in the Azores Island chain. There, at the Terceira volcano, its alert level has just been raised after fresh ground deformation was detected. This follows a slow escalation which has been ongoing since mid 2021. This video will discuss the ongoing volcanic unrest and give context as to its intensity via the opinion of a geologist.

Hello from Terceira! Thanks for the update! As always your 5min videos are way more informative and clarifying than all the local authorities information combined. Lack of good information leads to ignorance, people get more unrest than the volcano itself and misinformation spreads as fire. Historically and culturally we have been exposed to seismic activity for so long but still so misinformed. Thanks again!

Was fortunate enough to be stationed in Lajes on Terceira for a few months in 1988 while flying with the Navy. Such a picturesque island. I do recall a couple of minor tremors while there.

My neighbor is from Azores Terceira. He actually owns a gas station here with that same name. He and his wife usually spend their summers there, too, but I noticed they haven't left yet. I wonder if this is why? I'll have to ask him about it. 🤔

Yes, the Azores are almost entirely deforested, most islands only have a few % of the original native Laurisilva forest remaining. Thankfully the biodiversity of the Azores was pretty low, so not much was lost in comparison to other deforested islands. Apparently the produce from there is amazing.

There is a theory about the scandinavian winters in the 5th Century and the 9th century were caused by a Volcanic éruption in the atlantic Ocean. Some spéculate the island of Faial as it most likely resembled Pico island had a massive eruption which caused the current Caldiera and all the Ash along with dust from the matter thrown into the air caused these winters in the north from the wind directions. Could this happen with Terciera and if so would they have to évacuate the entire island or would it be a much smaller éruption. Localised.
