La Palma eruption The ash cleaning operation is accelerated due to the risk of landslides and floods on La Palma
The arrangement of
the Cumbre Vieja volcano
cone
has allowed the new lava flows to move through the previous lava flows, without doing more damage to the surface of the island, and fundamentally feeding the original lava flow that dumps all its force into the sea.
This was reported on Monday by the technical director of the Special Plan for Civil Protection and Emergency Assistance for Volcanic Risk of the Canary Islands (
Pevolca
),
Miguel Ángel Morcuende
, who assured that what the lava has done is to try to cover all the islands that were producing and that they had been between washes.
He also recalled that the road that yesterday had a significant detachment in the area between El Charco and Los Canarios, in Fuencaliente, has been cleaned today and access to the Puerto Naos area and other neighborhoods is now allowed.

New lava flows run over previous runs without causing further damage
The arrangement of the
cone of the Cumbre Vieja volcano
has allowed the new
lava
flows to
move through the previous flows, not doing any more damage and fundamentally feeding the original
flow
that dumps all the force, the energy, into the sea.
This was reported this Monday night by the technical director of the Special Plan for Civil Protection and Emergency Assistance for Volcanic Risk of the Canary Islands (
Pevolca
),
Miguel Ángel Morcuende
, who tonight has offered updated information on the situation of the eruption on the island from La Palma.
The director of Pevolca indicated that the stream that moves north of the
Todoque
mountain
is also fed and, even, the stream that is slightly further north and that runs through the south of the La Laguna mountain, although with less contribution than the previous two.
Morcuende explained that what the lava has done is to try to cover all the islands that were being produced, that had been left between flows.
He also recalled that the road that yesterday had a significant detachment in the area between El Charco and Los Canarios, in Fuencaliente, has been cleaned today and access has already been allowed from 1:05 p.m. to the area of Puerto Naos and others neighborhoods that need both cleaning of roofs and collection of belongings.
