Experts from the Spanish Military Emergency Unit (UME) measure the toxicity of the gases emitted when lava meets the sea. The river of glowing lava from the Cumbre Vieja volcano that erupted ten days ago on the island of La Palma in the Spanish Canary Islands is still flowing into the Atlantic Ocean at midday, but the wind is pushing the toxic gases out to sea, avoiding, at least for the time being, the local population.
