🌋🌋These images show the extent of the destruction from the La Palma volcano

Since Sept. 19, plumes of smoke and rivers of bright red lava have been spewing out of the volcano on Spain's La Palma island and slowly transformed the area into a vista of destroyed homes and abandoned neighbourhoods.

Since the first eruption, lava and ash have covered or destroyed 1,100 buildings, including homes, farms, swimming pools, and at least one entire industrial park. The lives of thousands of residents on La Palma have been upended.

The following photos show the progression of the volcano’s devastation since it began erupting in September 2021.

The Canary Islands (/kəˈnɛəri/; Spanish: Canarias, pronounced [kaˈnaɾjas]), also known informally as the Canaries, is a Spanish archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, in a region known as Macaronesia. At their closest point to the African mainland, they are 100 kilometres (62 miles) west of Morocco. They are the southernmost of the autonomous communities of Spain, and are located in the African Tectonic Plate. The archipelago is economically and politically European, and is part of the European Union.

The eight main islands are (from largest to smallest in area) Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Graciosa. The archipelago includes many smaller islands and islets, including Alegranza, Isla de Lobos, Montaña Clara, Roque del Oeste, and Roque del Este. It also includes a number of rocks, including those of Salmor, Fasnia, Bonanza, Garachico, and Anaga. In ancient times, the island chain was often referred to as "the Fortunate Isles". The Canary Islands are the southernmost region of Spain, and the largest and most populous archipelago of Macaronesia.Because of their location, the Canary Islands have historically been considered a bridge between the four continents of Africa, North America, South America, and Europe.
