Erupción submarina del volcán Tagoro

Historical milestone · El Pinar de El Hierro, El Hierro, Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Between 2011 and 2012 an underwater eruption off La Restinga formed the Tagoro volcano, more than 300 metres high measured from the seabed, with its main crater at a depth of 88-89 metres. The episode forced the temporary evacuation of part of La Restinga's population.
