The Cumbre Vieja volcano in La Palma in the Canary Islands, started to spew hot lava and ash on Sept. 19, 2021. Within hours, the area of Cumbre Vieja and the villages of El Paso and Los Llanos de Aridane had to be evacuated, as lava made its way towards the sea. Lava continues to flow in the aftermath of the island’s first volcanic eruption in 20 years, destroying hundreds of property and forcing the evacuation of over 5,500 people.

The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
