Sputnik is live from the Canary Island of La Palma, Spain, as the volcano Cumbre Vieja continues erupting for a 14th consecutive day.
Solidified lava from the volcanic eruption has already extended the coastal line of La Palma by over 500 yards. The eruption started on 19 September and lava flows reached the sea late on 28 September.
The lava is believed to have destroyed more than 1,000 buildings. More than 6,000 people have been evacuated from the disaster zone, while some of them have been allowed to return home.
