The volcano on Cumbre Vieja in La Palma has entered an explosive phase and continues to emit lava, although experts are still uncertain as to whether the flow will reach the sea.

The head of Lanzarote’s Geoparque has said “there shouldn’t be eruptions on Lanzarote,” but added that she wouldn’t go so far as to predict that they won’t happen.

As lava from the original fissures and vents of the La Palma volcano slowed down on its passage to the sea yesterday, another vent of lava opened up near the village of Tacande, in the municipality of El Paso. This development led to more evacuations in surrounding areas last night.

The predicted eruption on the Canary Island of La Palma finally occurred at 3.30 pm yesterday afternoon. No one has been hurt; everyone who could be affected has been evacuated and there is absolutely no danger for anyone on any of the other islands.
