<Anchor> A
large-scale volcanic eruption occurred on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands of Spain for the first time in 50 years.
Lava erupts with a roaring roar, soaring hundreds of meters above it, cascading down the mountain slopes in various directions, engulfing homes and school buildings.

Lava flowing down the mountain slowly engulfs the pool.
The pool water starts to boil and overflows.
Houses are also sucked into the lava.
La Palma, which erupted last Sunday, is now engulfing homes.
More than 300 buildings, including the elementary school building, have been burned by the hot lava fire so far.
As the lava flowed into the road, it was blocked everywhere, making it difficult for residents to escape.
At night, pillars of red flames soar more than 300 meters and make a roaring sound.
Fortunately, no casualties were reported.
Evacuation orders were issued for four villages, including El Paso, and authorities urgently evacuated one-eighth of the island's population.
[La Palma Islander: I am very worried. I'm moving everything I can take with me. We are moving beds, refrigerators, etc.] On
this island, a large-scale volcanic eruption continued for three weeks in 1971.
In the midst of this, Spain's Minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism appeared on the radio and said that La Palma is safe and that he should come to tour a wonderful show is causing controversy.
