La Palma Update: Hell on Earth | one hour before sunset, As Earth Rises, Rumble sound Destroys land

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station have captured stunning photos of the significant transformation of the island of La Palma following a powerful eruption. From September to December 2021, the southwest flank of the active Cumbre Vieja volcanoes unleashed a barrage of intense volcanic activity, including lava flows, lava fountains, and ash clouds.. This eruption lasted for approximately 85 days, providing a unique opportunity for astronauts to document impact from outer space.The eruption caused extensive damage, with more than 12 square kilometers of La Palma covered in lava and ash.. The affected area stretched for 5 kilometers from the pass to the coastline, swallowing more than 3,000 buildings, banana plantations, and even causing the pine forests to turn yellow. The scale of the destruction is clear in a comparison of photos taken before and after the eruption, which show dramatic changes to the landscape.
