A volcano erupted on the Spanish island of La Palma on Sunday, forcing 1,000 people living nearby to abandon their homes before lava flows could reach them.

Scientists had been keeping a close eye on the ridge, which last erupted in 1971, after detecting a series of small earthquakes and build-up of molten lava below the surface. The last eruption on La Palma 50 years ago lasted just over three weeks. The most recent on all the Canary Islands, which occurred underwater off the coast of El Hierro in 2011, lasted five months.
