La Palma Island (Spain) (AFP) – The lava trail left by the Cumbre Vieja volcano in La Palma, the Canary Islands spills into the ocean to form a volcanic delta, as captured by researchers from the Spanish Geological and Mining Institute. Clouds of thick ash from the volcano on La Palma on Thursday forced the island’s airport to close for the second time since the eruption began last month, Spain’s airport authority says.
