Nighttime images of lava spewing from the Cumbre Vieja volcano on Spain's La Palma island, two weeks after the beginning of its first eruption in 50 years. At least 870 buildings of all types have been completely destroyed and 6,000 people have been evacuated. IMAGES
The Cumbre Vieja volcano, on the Spanish Canary island of La Palma, spews lava and smoke. The eruption has left at least 870 buildings of all types completely destroyed and prompted the evacuation of around 6,000 people. IMAGES
The lava flow produced by the Cumbre Vieja volcano falls into the Atlantic Ocean in Tazacorte on the Canary island of La Palma. While the feared explosion and clouds of toxic gases released as the molten rock hit the ocean have not materialised, experts warn a forecast change in wind may bring new hazards. IMAGES
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.
