The La Palma Eruption and Reconstruction Project

 La Palma project by GeoTenerife is a multi-media project which aims to increase the awareness and understanding of volcanic activity, volcanic emergency plans, and reconstruction in La Palma. Our self-funded research on La Palma has led to our award-winning documentaries “Lava Bombs: Truths Behind the Volcano” and “Lava Bombs 2: The Reconstruction”. Our work is open access, in non-specialist language, and resident-focused.

Volcán de Tajogaite (2021) Eruption and Reconstruction

GeoTenerife aims to tell the unheard human stories of the people affected by the 2021 eruption of the Volcán de Tajogaite, La Palma.  Through our collaboration with Alexander Whittle of New Light Studio, GeoTenerife has produced two documentaries LAVA BOMBS: Truths Behind the Volcano and LAVA BOMBS 2: The Reconstruction. 

The 2021 Tajogaite eruption was the largest and most destructive eruption in La Palma for the last 500 years. It caused around €1 billion in damage, displacing over 7,000 people, and destroying 3,000 buildings, 2,000 of which were people’s homes. Here are some of VolcanoStories helpful summary videos:

A collection of interviews with witnesses of the 2021 La Palma Eruption, conducted by GeoTenerife. These interviews were later used in the Lava Bombs: The Truth Behind the Volcano documentary.

To help put the science in context and counter sensationalism GeoTenerife was involved in social media live streams and news interviews with local, national and international media outlets during the volcanic eruption of La Palma. Here are the playlists which document our work.

IGGM ARC Raiders Blueprints Sale Preparing for Shrouded Sky Update

The ARC Raiders event, "Shared Watch," will end on the 24th, coinciding with the new Shrouded Sky update. This update brings new environmental changes, specifically a hurricane map. The stormy and windy weather will present some challenges for players, but it will also bring richer loot.

If you haven't unlocked all the Shared Watch rewards yet, be sure to hurry!The key to quickly acquiring Merits during the event is to challenge large ARCs like Bastions, Bombardiers, Leapers, and Rocketeers. Of course, destroying them easily is difficult; excellent preparation is essential. Many players have likely struggled with lacking certain weapon blueprints, so I recommend purchasing some powerful and commonly used ARC Raiders blueprints for easier gameplay.

ARC Raiders Blueprints Recommendations

Blueprints vary in rarity and utility, but these few are highly praised for both their price and practicality. Let me introduce these recommended blueprints to you!

Blueprint - Wolfpack

This is a grenade that explodes in bursts, splitting into multiple missiles that can track ARC. It requires 3x Explosive Compound and 2x ARC Motion Core. It's a grenade with very high burst damage, an essential consumable item in PVE boss battles, and a necessity for many players.

Blueprint - Bobcat

The Bobcat is an epic blueprint, a submachine gun using the Light Ammo. Players highly praise this gun for its significant boost to close-quarters combat capabilities, making it arguably the king of melee combat. This blueprint was once one of the most rare, requiring 1 × Magnetic Accelerator, 3 × Light Gun Parts, and 2 × Exodus Modules to craft.

Blueprint - Tempest

This is an Assault Rifle made with Medium Ammo, offering a balanced rate of fire and accuracy, making it an excellent choice for everyday use. It boasts a 1.5 headshot multiplier and good handling, and is now a popular choice for many players. Crafting requires 1 × Magnetic Accelerator, 3 × Medium Gun Parts, 2 × Exodus Modules

Blueprint - Looting Mk.3 (SURVIVOR)

This 20-slot heavy-duty pack mule augment boasts an enormous capacity and powerful load-bearing ability, making it a top choice for most players. It also provides the effect of restoring up to 75% of max-down health while downed and stationary, significantly increasing player survivability. Crafting requires 2 Advanced Electrical Components and 3 Processors.

BluePrint- Vulcano

Vulcano is a powerful weapon, and its blueprint is extremely rare, appearing only in specific map events and high-tier loot locations. Its main advantage lies in its unparalleled burst damage in close combat, allowing for quick kills of enemies and small ARC. It is the top choice for indoor combat. Crafting requires 1 × Magnetic Accelerator, 3 × Heavy Gun Parts, and 1 × Exodus Module.
