Earlier this week, the Canary Islands Volcanology Institute reported that lava from the volcano erupting on the Spanish island of La Palma has entered the ocean.

The volcano on La Palma began erupting on 19 September. The ongoing eruption has destroyed almost 600 buildings, 258 hectares of land, and damaged 13 miles of road to date. About 6,000 La Palma residents have been evacuated.
