What happened?

Lava flowed down the mountain and through villages after the crack opened in the Cumbre Vieja volcano on 19 September, throwing jets of lava and ash into the air.

Cumbre Vieja sounded like this minutes before it erupted (La Palma Volcano Institute).

The red-hot liquid rock destroyed everything in its path – empty villages, schools and hundreds of homes – before reaching the sea 10 days later.

Authorities have set up an exclusion zone around the flow, including in the sea, to keep people away from any potential danger.

RADIOCOMUNICARTE – Rubén García tells how he is living the catastrophe – Todoque (La Palma).

How long will the eruption last?

The Canary Islands Volcano Institute has suggested the eruption could last between 24 and 84 days.

RADIOCOMUNICARTE interviews the Spanish President, Pedro Sánchez.

The eruption continues with no significant changes in observed and measured parameters. Volcanic tremor has increased again compared to yesterday, but still remains lower than the average of the past weeks.

During the past 24 hours, 119 earthquakes of magnitudes from 2.3 up to 3.7 maximum have been registered under the volcano.
