A group of researchers from Spanish university ULPGC has obtained the first underwater ROV footage of the lava delta that the Cumbre Vieja eruption is creating along the coast of La Palma.
A volcanic vent has been spewing lava onto the southwestern slope of La Palma since September 19, destroying about 2,000 buildings and covering about 1,800 acres of land. About 7,000 residents have been evacuated from the danger zone, and air travel to the other Canary Islands has been periodically interrupted. Ferry operators have stepped up services in order to ensure continuity of access for first responders and relief organizations.
