According to data published by the Copernicus surveillance system, lava moves at a speed of 60 to 80 meters per hour.
Due to ash and lack of visibility, La Palma airport was closed and ferry connections to Tenerife were strengthened. In a conversation with SIC, volcanologist Teresa Ferreira understands that at the moment the greatest danger to the population is the growing spread of ash and toxic gases emitted by the volcano Cumbre Vieja in La Palma.
