• La Palma Why experts predict that the volcano is fading: "it languishes" and "does not feed back"

Although in a descending line and with less energy, according to experts, the Cumbre Vieja volcano remains

active almost two months

after the start of its eruption, with

the lava advancing over the sea

and expanding the strips.

The lava from the volcano has continued to advance over the sea, especially through stream 9, located to the south, which has already reached the water, so that

the lava delta

generated by the eruption occupies an area of ​​40.9 hectares from the shore , according to calculations by the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME).

The

area affected by the lava

from the volcano in Cumbre Vieja amounts to 1,034.3 hectares, according to the latest estimate by the Cabildo de La Palma.

They are almost 15 hectares more than the last data that managed the Volcanic Emergency Plan of the Canary Islands (Pevolca) and ten more than the last measurement of the European Copernicus satellite system.
