Resumen

La Palma is one of the most volcanically active islands in the Canarian archipelago, with two eruptions in the last 50years. At this island, a radon mapping was carried out in order to determine the normal levels of this gas in soils andin the underground environment during a quiescence period and to investigate possible active geological structures.Radon values are in general low, both at surface and in the underground, although weak anomalies were detectedinto a gallery in the north of the island (200 pCi/l) and at the southern rift (>180 pCi/l), the most active edifice inrecent times
