Smoke and ash spewed into the sky, as lava continued to flow from the Cumbre Vieja volcano on Spain's La Palma on Sunday after two newly opened cracks formed late this week, creating different paths for molten rock to take down the mountainside. The constant rain of fine ash has even forced islanders to don masks and goggles.
Authorities issued a lockdown order late Friday for Los Llanos de Aridane and El Paso, two of the worst-affected towns. They lifted the orders Saturday while still advising people to stay indoors as much as possible.
Some 6,000 people have been evacuated from the region since the eruption began on Sept. 19 and are yet to return, while more than 800 buildings, including houses, churches and schools, have been destroyed.
A spokesperson for the Canary Islands' emergency services said no additional evacuations have been ordered and the Pevolca emergency volcano committee is evaluating data on the new eruption.
