LA PALMA, Spain: A volcano erupted on the Spanish Canary Island of La Palma on Sunday, sending lava shooting into the air and streaming in rivers towards two villages from the Cumbre Vieja national park in the south of the island.
After nightfall, video footage showed fountains of lava shooting hundreds of metres into the sky, and at least three incandescent orange rivers of molten rock pouring down the hill, tearing gashes into woods and farmland, and spreading as they reached lower ground. "I was 5 years old when the volcano last erupted . You never get over a volcanic eruption," added Fuentes, who said she had moved to another house on Sunday for her safety.Spain's Civil Guard said it was helping to evacuate between 5,000 and 10,000 people.
Stavros Meletlidis, a doctor of volcanology at the Spanish Geographical Institute, said the eruption had torn five holes in the hillside and that he could not be sure how long it would last.King Felipe spoke with Torres and was following developments, the royal household said.
