Lava Flows From La Palma Volcano One Month After First Eruption

The Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Spanish island of La Palma, which began erupting on September 19, was still spewing lava exactly one month on from its first eruption.

This footage, filmed by the Spanish Geological and Mining Institute (Instituto Geologico y Minero de Espana), shows lava flowing on October 19.

A 4.8-magnitude tremor – the most powerful since the volcano’s first eruption – hit La Palma on Tuesday night, Spain’s Institute of Geosciences (CSIC-UCM) said. Credit: Instituto Geológico y Minero de España via Storyful
