The resort island of La Palma, one of the Canary Islands off the northwestern coast of Africa, has been battered by volcanic eruptions for more than two months.

The Cumbre Vieja volcano erupted for the first time in 50 years on September 19, laying waste to the Cabeza de Vaca area and prompting the evacuation of thousands of residents.

Authorities in La Palma, home to 85,000 people and a popular destination for European tourists, say the volcano has been active ever since.

It's beautiful to the eye in pictures but no one will wish to have a first hand experience of it.. To the victims, better times ahead, at least you all might get help from the govt.

Those lavas are a rich trove of minerals.

The ash can be used to make bricks, cement, and other building materials.
