.
That is why the direction of the
Canary Islands

The direction of the
Canary Islands
Volcanic Risk Prevention Plan
, Pevolca, has ordered the confinement of several population centers in the municipality of
Tazacorte due
to the possibility that the lava from the volcanic eruption of
La Palma
, which began on Sunday, September 19, arrives to the sea in the next few hours.
In anticipation of possible emissions of harmful gases, the confinement of
San Borondón
,
Marina Alta
,
Marina Baja
and
La Condesa
has been ordered
.
The Pevolca indicates that the population should follow the indications and remain in their homes with doors and windows closed until the situation is evaluated tomorrow.
The Technical Director of Pevolca, Miguel Ángel Morcuende, has indicated that the lava follows the path of the main stream and
its average speed is about 100 m / h
because it is hotter because it emanates from a greater depth of the volcano - about 10 kilometers-, which increases its fluidity.
The front of the lava tongue is being pushed by new lava that, although the front of the lava is cooling, its interior is still very hot, around
1,200 degrees
, which makes it more fluid.

Miguel Ángel Morcuende,
reports that around 7:00 p.m., the lava flow has exceeded Todoque, evacuated a few days ago, and It has crossed the LP-213 highway at the height of the town.
