La Palma island’s volcano roars again, spewing thicker lava

LOS LLANOS DE ARIDANE, Canary Islands – A volcano that has already destroyed nearly 1,000 buildings on a Spanish island increased its explosive power Tuesday, spewing thicker lava out of its main vent. A video released by the institute the night before showed a block of molten rock that, according to the institute, had hit against a wall more than 0.7 miles away from the vent. According to Involcan’s calculations, the volcano has emitted at least 250,000 tons of sulfur dioxide and 35 million cubic meters of magma.
