Live from La Palma in the Canary Islands as a volcano in the La Cumbre Vieja area continues to erupt.
On Sunday, the Volcanology Institute of the Canaries (INVOLCAN) confirmed that a volcano had started erupting on the Spanish island of La Palma. The Spanish National Geographic Institute had registered seismological activity in the area for about a week before the eruption, so the authorities were able to start evacuating people with limited mobility early.
The last time that the island of La Palma saw a volcanic eruption was in 1971, when one man reportedly died.
