About 1,500 buildings were destroyed
The day after the evacuation, the third lava flow of Cumbria Vijay, which erupted on Palma Island, did not weaken. On the contrary, it is rapidly gaining ground. To date, the island of Lava already covers 656 hectares, 86 of which have been under the European Copernicus program for the past 48 hours.
According to the European Program, a total of 1,458 buildings were destroyed in the lava flow from the volcano.
Flows fast
The Institute of Volcanology (Involcan) of the Canary Islands produces very fast flows, however the progress of the flow gives the authorities time to organize evictions.
