Lava from a volcano on Spain's Canary Islands' La Palma has reached the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
Scientists are warning a cloud of toxic vapour and gas will be released on contact with the sea.
The lava flows could threaten La Palma island's rich biodiverse environment.
Spain has declared the area a disaster zone, warning residents to get out of the way, more than a week after the eruption began.
Al Jazeera’s Nicolas Haque reports from La Palma, Spain.
