Subsea volcano erupts off Canary Islands

A subsea volcano has erupted some five kilometres off El Hierro, the smallest of the Canary Islands. A 4.3 seismic movement on Saturday caused a fissure, releasing pressure from the sea bed. The Spanish Civil Guard has advised 50 residents from El Hierro's La Frontera community to leave their homes for fear of landslides. http://www.euronews.net/
