Summary

edit
Description
English: The Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma, Canarias, Spain, entered into an eruptive episode on 19 September 2021. The seismic activity connected to the eruption and the lava flow emitted changed the morphology of the island and caused great damage to numerous buildings and key infrastructure. Recently, a new road which is crossing the lava flow has been inaugurated. The 3.3 kilometres long track connects the north and south of the western part of the island (the part destroyed during the eruption) and the journey can be completed in just over ten minutes, whereas the alternative prior to its opening was a journey of over an hour and a half around the island. The new route, crossing the black lava flow, is visible in this image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 27 July 2022. The Copernicus Emergency Management Service extensively supported the response to the Cumbre Vieja eruption, assessing the damage caused through the work of the Risk and Recovery and Rapid Mapping Teams.
