  • Story Text: Red-hot spurts of lava from the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Spanish island of La Palma turned the sky pink on Sunday (October 10).
    Lava streamed down the hillside and clouds smoke rose above the volcano as day broke, Reuters footage showed.
    Since the Cumbre Vieja volcano began erupting on Sept. 19 it has destroyed nearly 1,150 buildings and engulfed 480 hectares (1,190 acres) of land, the European Commission Copernicus Emergency Management Service tweeted on Saturday (October 9).
    About 6,000 people have been evacuated from their homes on La Palma, which is one of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic and which has about 83,000 inhabitants.
    There were a series of 37 seismic movements on Saturday, with the largest measuring 4.1, the Spanish National Geological Institute said.
