>After 50 years of repose, Cumbre Vieja volcano—historically the most active of the Canary Islands—entered an eruptive episode on 19 September 2021, forcing the evacuation of ∼6400 residents and destroying infrastructure worth more than 400 million euros. The volcanic unrest began in 2017 but accelerated only 8 days before the onset of the eruption. This behavior, characterized by comparatively protracted periods of quiescence and unrest, is at odds with global systematics for basaltic volcanoes
basically, it goes on to show on a chart that the La Palma volcanic activity started in September, and only later it came to an eruption
