“…Geochemical precursory signals were also observed before and during 2017 in the form of significant increases in the diffuse He and H 2 degassing throughout the entire Cumbre Vieja building (Padrón et al., 2018; Pérez et al., 2018). Such observations were explained to be caused by an upward magma migration from an ephemeral magmatic reservoir, located in the upper mantle (about 25 km depth), toward another reservoir located close to the Moho beneath Cumbre Vieja (12–15 km) (Pérez et al., 2018; D’Auria et al., 2022). Additional seismic swarms were registered in 2018 (1), 2020 (5, one of them a seismic swarm of LP events) and 2021 (2), before the seismic series that preceded the eruption, beginning a week before it (D’Auria et al., 2022).…”
