    I do love a good volcanic sceneI'm at the official viewpoint here, which I think was also official during the eruptionThat lava doesn't originate from the coneYou can see how the gases and heat have killed the trees up there2Zoom in to see the fallen tree, but one close by is alive and healthy'For your security, access is not allowed'Not far to go before those buildings would be buried

    Aftermath of the Eruption

    5 Eylül 2024, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    In an earlier footprint I said I'd get some photos showing the impact of the volcanic eruption in 2021. Here they are.

    The other day, seemingly ages ago, I was on the other side of the flow so I was happy to view the solidified river of lava from the northern side.

    It's impressive to see but if I lived in those properties I would have been seriously worried. It really is deep so imagine the heat given off as that lava made it's way past here. I'm sure they had been evacuated of course. They probably ran like crazy. It was annoying that access was restricted (those signs and fences) as I felt compelled just to touch this newly born land. Not sure why, but I was good and didn't.

    One thing I realised from being close up and on this side of the flow, is it doesn't look as though the lava came from that cone. There must be more that can't be seen from here and when I was at Mirador Astronómico del Llano del Jable, which is above the eruption site, access is restricted from there too. That's so annoying, but I must find out where the flow actually originated. Hello Google.

    Anyway, I hope you enjoy seeing these photos.
