La Palma: the lava flows and flows
The lava flows and flows on the Canary Island of La Palma. On Saturday, the Cumbre Vieja continued to spit liquid rock. Again and again the unstoppable mass destroys houses that have long since been cleared. More than 6000 people have had to leave their homes so far. The lava has now buried around 800 hectares. 2000 buildings went up in flames. Since the beginning of the eruption on September 19, many banana plantations on the popular holiday island have also been destroyed.
