La Palma Island woke up for the fifth day in a row without experiencing the tremors of the volcano that residents have been accustomed to for more than 3 months.

Stop erupting lava, lower crater temperature, and reduce earthquakes. Volcanologists are still cautious but are considering a number of data about the end of the activity.
