Ash-covered houses, lava that has not subsided for 60 days; Leader wants to bomb the volcano!

Spanish leader proposed a new solution to the crisis on the Spanish island of La Palma Casimiro Corbolo, president of the nearby island’s municipal council, suggested that the only solution was to bomb the lava-flowing volcano. 

The sixtieth day has passed since the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja and the onset of the lava flow, and the volcano is not yet ready to erupt.Corbello says bombing with air force planes can divert and calm lava flows. The incident led to much criticism and trolls. Proponents of her case have been working to make the actual transcript of this statement available online. The crisis in La Palma is acute.

In addition to the first lava river, the second lava flowed into the sea. The lava also reached the beach at Playa de las Girls on the island. At the same time, volcanoes emit large amounts of sulfur dioxide. 9000 to 13000 tons of sulfur dioxide is emitted from the mountain daily—most of the houses are covered with ashes.

The lava was reported at an altitude of 2.7 km, causing heavy damage to 2,500 structures, including homes, businesses, and farms. More than 6,000 people have evacuated from the island.

La Palma is a Spanish island located in the Atlantic Ocean near Morocco. The island is located 100 km from Morocco. La Palma is one of the Canary Islands under Spanish rules, and it is home to 85,000 people. Fifty years ago, the volcano finally erupted. An earthquake measuring 4.2 on the Richter scale shook the region before the eruption.

The Canary Islands are an archipelago off the coast of Spain in the Spanish – controlled Mediterranean. La Palma, are active volcano in the Canary Islands, has now erupted after a hiatus. The volcano erupts with unparalleled lava flow.

The lava passes through the volcano, causing extensive damage to areas up to the sea; the term “lava tsunami” is used by researchers at the Canary Islands’ volcanic institute to describe the current situation in the Canary Islands.

The speed and extent of the lava flow after the eruption prompted them to give it such a name. The name is not an exaggeration for anyone who has seen the lava flow. The rapid arrival of the lava was like a barrier erupting. 

The lava flows only rapidly from the volcano. Despite being a sparsely populated island, it already has about 300 families relocated from this area. 

The lava flow covered an area of about 8 square kilometers and was not destroyed by the fire. The primary source of income was damaged by the lava flow, buildings, grasslands, and banana plantations on the island.

However, no casualties have been reported so far. However, there are concerns that the various gases emitted from the lava could significantly impact human health. 

In particular, costly emissions of gases such as sulfur dioxide have preceded health problems in humans. Researchers also say that cats need to be included in any preventive measures against the virus.

Cloudy skies, rain ash

The sky above the island is overcast as if it were going to rain. But this covering was not caused by clouds but by volcanic ash and smoke. 

At present, very little sunlight enters the island. And the ashes from the sky are falling back to the island. The ash falling in small grains covered everything from the houses and changed their color.

However, it is not yet clear where the lava flow from the volcano will end. There are also concerns that a similar explosion could happen again, and this is because of the sounds that are still emanating from inside the volcano. 

If a similar eruption occurs again, the lava will likely reach more areas and destroy more places due to the lava. Fifty years ago, the volcano finally erupted. Experts say the lava flow lasted for weeks and months when a previous volcanic eruption occurred. 

It is doubtful whether this lava flow will last that long. Authorities are also struggling to control people. Despite instructions not to go, people are flocking to the roads to watch the lava flow in violation of the ban.
