On Thursday morning, the National Geographic Institute (IGN) recorded a magnitude 4.1 earthquake occurring between Tenerife and Gran Canaria, which was felt across several municipalities on both islands. Occurring at a depth of 10 kilometers, the earthquake was reported at 12:26, with intensity levels reaching III-IV as confirmed by the sources from IGN. Notably, this seismic event appears not to be linked to the ongoing swarm activities in the Cañadas del Teide region.

The epicenter of the earthquake was located near the 'Volcán de Enmedio', an area known for its seismic activity due to its geographical features. This site has experienced significant seismic events in the past, including a 4.2 magnitude earthquake in 2019, and others measuring 3.7 in 2022 and 2023, in addition to a 3.6 magnitude event recorded in 2024. Such historical data indicates that the region remains geologically active and prone to tremors.

Currently, the IGN has received reports indicating that the earthquake was notably felt in areas including Arico and La Laguna. Residents are being monitored for any potential aftershocks, but at this point, experts have stated that there is no immediate danger associated with this seismic event. As the volcanic and seismic activity in the Canary Islands is a recurring event, it remains essential for local authorities to update emergency plans and inform the public regarding safety protocols whenever such earthquakes occur.
