In the Canary Islands, due to the collapse of one of the sides of the Cumbre Vieja volcano, its eruption intensified. On Monday, October 4, reports Aljazeera.
It is noted that the volcano threw a column of lava high into the sky, and the northern side of the volcano collapsed. This led to an even faster and more powerful eruption.
The collapse has created a new lava flow that threatens several nearby cities.
The Cumbre Vieja volcano has already destroyed more than 900 buildings. About 6,000 people have been evacuated from their homes on La Palma Island in a population of about 83,000.
We will remind, September 19 on Palma the eruption of the volcano Cumbre Vieja began in the area of the village of El Paso. An active ejection of volcanic materials occurs from the crater. Lava flows have already destroyed 855 houses and partially damaged 126 more. For security reasons, more than 6 thousand people were evacuated. It was later reported that a new fissure has opened at the volcano on Palma, resulting in the formation of two new lava flows.
