- Story Text: Buildings near La Palma volcano were engulfed by rivers of lava on Saturday (October 9) early morning, as the eruption in the Spanish Canary Island laid waste to swathes of land and forced the evacuation of thousands.
The Cumbre Vieja volcano began its fiery eruption on Sept. 19 and has destroyed more than 800 buildings.
About 6,000 people have been evacuated from their homes on the island, which has a population of about 83,000 and is one of an archipelago making up the Canary Islands in the Atlantic.
