  • Lava is still streaming down an erupting volcano on La Palma in the Spanish Canary Islands, forcing authorities to evacuate hundreds of homes, as the lava gushes towards the sea.
    Local officials have warned the lava could trigger chemical reactions when it reaches the sea, causing explosions and the release of toxic gases.
    The BBC's Dan Johnson reports from the base of the volcano.

      I hear you. I think I get high on the danger and potential catastrophe of these events. When Krakatoa erupted it caused a tsunami 140 feet high. The island disappeared and people on other continents heard the blast. Just mind blowing.

    It’s ‘a’ Canary Island, not ‘the Canary Islands’. It’s also quite a distance from the more populous holiday resort islands to the east. However, sloppy bylining like this only increases the perception that all the islands have a live volcano. I live on Fuerteventura, where the last eruption was 5000 years ago, but no matter how many times I explain this I still get people asking me if my home is in danger. I’m also waiting for someone to drag up the old BBC Horizon programme that erroneously mention that La Palma will ‘explode’ and flood the North American seaboard.

      Actually, stupidity is kinda rampant these days, unfortunately. But, personally, I appreciate the verification of seeing a video that is authentic, and I can hear the sound from the volcano. You never know when hoaxes occur on the internet. Sorry that he wasn't wearing a mask though.
