Lava continues to flow from the old vent areas going mostly into the lava tube system 05.12.21

La Palma volcano from Calle Echedey, 05.12.21 Volcano Discovery Reports "Visible activity at the vents has been mostly low today. Most of the time, only steaming could be seen from the craters and only intermittent, weak pulses of strombolian activity and ash emissions only reaching a few hundred meters height. However, lava continues to flow from both the old vent areas (going mostly into the lava tube system) and then from lava tube opening that had opened yesterday at 12.45 p.m. in an area 500 m west of Montaña Cogote south of Todoque, in the middle of a populated (but long-since evacuated) area. The new lava flow from this tube opening traveled westwards along the southern margin of the existing flow field, covering new land and damaging additional buildings. Today, it continued to advance towards the coast and was near cliff in the Las Hoyas area this afternoon, but has not yet reached it." 06.12.21

In the text above I changed "New fissure" (south of Todoque Mountain) to "lava tube opening" because it is lava tube spring and not new fissure (I believe so, bcs lava can exit from tubes at very remote locations and since it is going I to tubes near volcano it should exit somewhere)
