October 10 marks three weeks since the volcanic eruption on the island of La Palma. The city is still facing the effects as lava the size of three story buildings is rolling down hillsides of the island. Yesterday there were reports of a cone collapse in the volcano which explains the large amounts of lava. There have been an upwards of 6,000 people evacuated from the island of the 83,000 people living there. These large amounts of lava have taken over roughly 1,200 acres of land on the island so far since the eruption three weeks ago. On this land, there has been over 1,000 buildings destroyed because the lava is flowing through these cities. The article shows pictures of lava coming out of the volcano as well as onlookers watching the volcano in the distance.
