La Palma volcano lava flows fall onto beach

Footage recorded by volcano experts and La Palma regional authorities on Tuesday showed a lava flow from the errupting Cumbre Vieja volcano reaching the beach of Los Guirres after falling from a cliff.  Another nearby lava flow, which reached the sea over a month ago, has created a new headland along the island's coast.

The eruption has surged and ebbed since 19 September 2021. The majority of the 85,000 residents of La Palma island have been unaffected by the eruption. Scientists have advised the eruption could last up to three months.
