Lava fills swimming pool as La Palma volcano eruption continues

Drone footage captures the moment boiling lava seeps into a swimming pool on the Canary island of La Palma, as volcanic eruptions continue on the Spanish island forcing thousands to be evacuated. 

The island had been on high alert after more than 22,000 tremors were reported within a week in Cumbre Vieja, one of the most active volcanic regions in the archipelago

You really do forget sometimes just how explosive the reaction can be when lava and water meets. Great drone footage too.

How awful for all those people who have lost not just their homes but the land upon which they stood.... No hope of rebuilding there unlike other natural disasters.

[saladkareem]

It's heart breaking to watch.
But it's nature's and the people in Plama know it's Volcanic territorio.
Gran Canaria Plama de Mallorca, Isla de Hierro they all know that's something that is bound to happen.
Just like from Bracelon to Andulcia it's high risk for earthquakes.

I’m not able to find this location. Who knows where it is ?

[RadicalCaveman]

I don't think chlorine is going to fix this.
