The eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Spanish island of La Palma has intensified.
It has already prompted the evacuation of 6,000 people, and destroyed nearly a thousand homes.
As the central vent widens, new threats appear. Exploding gas bubbles send lethal projectiles, called lava bombs, hurtling into the sky.
