Emergency official on continuing La Palma eruption

There is no sign that a volcanic eruption on the Spanish island of La Palma is coming to an end four weeks after it began, officials said Sunday.

The volcano has so far destroyed more than 1,800 buildings, mostly homes, though prompt evacuations have helped avoid casualties on the island of some 85,000 people.

The Canary Islands volcanologist group said that seismic activity is now occurring "slightly to the south and east of where the main seismic swarm was situated at the onset of the eruption." Scientists monitoring the eruption that began Sept. 19 have seen no indications that the eruption is abating, as rivers of lava continue flowing slowly toward the sea.
