Footage of a ravaged mountainside with a single tree withstanding the lava flow.
Footage of a ravaged mountainside with a single tree withstanding the lava flow. Eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano is the island's longest-running volcano eruption. Huge rivers of lava and enormous amounts of continuously falling volcanic ash have very much transformed this Spanish holiday paradise. 7000 people have been evacuated; more than 1700 buildings were destroyed by the volcano. Strong earthquakes and permanent tremors were traumatising the local population. Cumbre Vieja volcano, Tacande, La Palma, Spain, 30. Nov. 2021
