La Palma volcano: Lava spews towards sea after further eruptions

Guardian, 03 Oct 2021
Further eruptions from Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Canary Island of La Palma have blown open two more fissures, sending molten rock spewing towards the sea.

Since Cumbre Vieja began erupting on 19 September, activity has "intensified" with earthquakes registered near the active volcano.

Residents have been ordered to stay indoors to avoid worsening air quality, or to evacuate from nearby towns
