Numerous fresh outlets have popped up on the Canary Archipelago of La Palma, over two months since a crater on the territory exploded, breathing fire and ashes.
Law enforcement agencies warned that additional magma began rushing downhill on Sunday, threatening to inflict additional havoc on the area's economy, roadways, and residences.
As per the Canary Islands Volcanology Department, new lava tunnels from the Cumbre Vieja volcano on Spain's La Palma archipelago have sent volcanic ash rushing downwards, at a rate of up to 1 meter per second beginning Monday.
The Outburst of Spain's La Palma Volcano
As noted by Mara José Blanco, a communications director for Spain's National Geographic Centre, the crater proceeded to emerge on Monday, with dynamic molten material pouring from its primary outlet at a rate of 20 feet per minute towards countryside which so far had stayed unaffected by the tragedy.
The volcano endangers the surviving houses in the village of La Laguna, that was fled over a month earlier, on the western tip of the peninsula close off the African coast.
On Monday, quick magma moved across areas of Spain's La Palma archipelago, months after it had initially ignited.
As shown in a graphic released Tuesday by the Canary Islands state's volcanic emergency panel, the village's cathedral is now within a kilometer from the largest lava, which is flowing toward Atlantic Coast.
About 80 earthquakes were detected on Saturday night, according to specialists, with more violent attaining an intensity of 3.6. Homeowners may be able to sense some of them.
The outbursts began on September 19 and have not ceased. Entire neighborhoods, streets, hectares of farmland, electricity cables, and water systems for the peninsula's vital plantation were all severely damaged.
By Tuesday, November 30th, pyroclastic flows out from volcano on the Canary Island of La Palma, Spain and damaged a property.

Rapid Molten Magma Continues
According to the council, the magma has struck the Atlantic in two locations on the peninsula's west side, dropping from hillsides into the water and then contributing to the shoreline with a combination of 118 acres molten waste.
However, it has annihilated more. The eruption devastated 1,134 hectares, one-third of which was agriculture. The flood has ravaged banana and avocado farms, which are critical to the peninsula's commerce.
The panel also said that the eruption damaged almost 1,200 dwellings and 300 additional structures. On the archipelago, which has a populace of over 80,000 residents, around 6,000 folks were relocated.
La Palma is among Spain's smaller Islands, situated off the west side of Morocco. Days ago, one of its volcanic streams damaged a nearby graveyard, digging up the bodies of almost 3,000 individuals.
Given the considerable devastation, hardly fatal injuries were clearly linked to the explosion, due in part to authorities' quick relocation of approximately 7,000 inhabitants on the Spanish Canary Peninsula.
In the last 10 weeks, the outburst has receded and soared, with scientists identifying at least 11 separate pyroclastic flows. Because of the Canary Islands' year-round nice climate, ecotourism is one of the most important sectors.
