Teide Volcano Update; Canary Islands Earthquake Swarm, 500+ Earthquakes

In Spain's Canary Islands, on an island home to 950,000 people was the site of an unusually strong volcanic earthquake swarm. Across the last 48 hours, more than 500 seismic events occurred, almost all being centered at 8 to 12 kilometers depth beneath a portion of the Teide volcano. This video discusses one interpretation of what this swarm could mean via a geologist.
