Video captured the moment lava rocks from the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma fell into the Atlantic Ocean early Monday morning in Spain, nine days after it started to flow down the mountain.

Footage showed rocks falling violently and clouds of white steam billowing up from the Playa Nueva area. Officials had warned of possible explosions and clouds of toxic gases when the lava reaches the sea. Some coastal communities had even been put on lockdown in anticipation due to concerns of the release of gases.

Spain classified La Palma as a disaster zone on Tuesday, a move that will trigger financial support for the island that has seen almost 600 homes, multiple buildings and even banana plantations destroyed.
