More Than A Week After A Volcanic Eruption On La Palma, Toxic Gas Is A New Threat

September 29, 2021
Lava from a volcano reaches the sea on the Canary island of La Palma, Spain, in the early hours of Wednesday, prompting concerns about toxic gas.

Lava has been flowing since Sept. 19 and has just reached the Atlantic Ocean. When the lava spills into the sea, it can create toxic gas; officials told residents to seal their windows and doors.
