Caption:
Cumbre Vieja volcano, on November 19, 2021, in La Palma, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands (Spain). The volcano currently has three active fronts, one that runs from Montaña Rajada to the north of Montaña Cogote -colada 11--, another that continues to feed the lava deltas and the third, the most intense one, which runs between lava flows 4 and 7. At a press conference, the deputy director of Pevolca, Ruben Fernandez, and the volcanologist of the IGN, Carmen Lopez, said it is occupying new space at the expense of homes and farms but has slowed and is advancing at about 20 meters per hour. In addition, it has also stopped the overflow of the main cone that was detected on Thursday night and caused an increase in the rate of emission of lava, very fluid, and the growth of its flow.
