Cumbre Vieja Is Erupting Again
On Sunday, a new vent in Cumbre Vieja opened up, sending scalding rivers of lava flowing down the mountainside, destroying everything it touched. Roughly 7,000 people have been forced to evacuate since the eruption began last week.
Early on Monday, residents of La Palma saw a few hours of calm as the eruption reduced to a summer. The pause came after the Canary Islands Volcanology Institute, or Involcan, reported that the amplitude of the volcanic tremor had “decreased notably” on Saturday night.
