La Palma volcano streams lava into Atlantic Ocean in drone footage

DRONE footage released by Spanish Military emergency unit showed new cascades of red-hot lava tumbling into the Atlantic Ocean off Spain’s La Palma on Wednesday (November 10) morning. The stream of molten rock from the Cumbre Vieja volcano, which began erupting in mid-September, reached the water near the popular surf spot of Los Guirres beach just before 2 a.m, according to the Transport Ministry. A video uploaded by Spain’s Geology and Mining Institute showed rivers of molten rock sliding into the sea and large rocks rolling down a cliff, causing a cone of debris to emerge from the waterline.
