La Palma Volcano's New Lava Flow Moves Towards the Sea After Lava Hits Settlements

Visible activity at the vents has been mostly low today. Most of the time, only steaming could be seen from the craters and only intermittent, weak pulses of strombolian activity and ash emissions only reaching a few hundred meters height. However, lava continues to flow from both the old vent areas (going mostly into the lava tube system) and the new fissure vents that had opened yesterday at 12.45 p.m. in an area 500 m west of Montaña Cogote south of Todoque, in the middle of a populated (but long-since evacuated) area.
The new lava flow from this fissure traveled westwards along the southern margin of the existing flow field, covering new land and destroying additional buildings. Today, it continued to advance towards the coast and was near cliff in the Las Hoyas area this afternoon, but has not yet reached it.
The latest count of destroyed buildings rose to 2790 and the area now covered by lava flows increased by 9 hectares to now 1,155 hectares (1.55 square kilometers).
