…and now, in Spain! The Cumbre Vieja volcano at La Palma island (Canary Islands) began erupting earlier this evening…
So far this is the live stream from the public television of the Canaries.
The last eruption in Spain was back in 1971.
…and now, live feed on afarTV, with imagery from Canaries TV
So far the lava flows have destroyed 150+ houses. It’s a very dense, slow moving lava, advancing towards the sea at about 700 meters an hour.
Science says Iceland is greater.
Iceland might be longer, but La Palma is more spectacular… and destructive. This video shows the collpase of the north flank, on the 21st day of eruption.
Around the 4 minutes mark can be seen chunks of the collapsed cone being carried away by the raging lava stream; those boulders are roughly the size of three-story buildings. Part of the new lava stream destroyed last night what little was left of the burough of Todoque; the town has been completely wiped from the face of Earth. The local government is looking for urgent action to prevent the zone being declared protected natural space as to leave open a chance of rebuilding the town near its original location.
…and today sh¡t just got real. Watch how lava overflows the main cone…
The lava flow has split into three streams and the town of La Laguna has been evacuated since one of the streams is already destroying structures nearby to the town.
