The Erupting Canary Islands Volcano in Spain ©exon360

Since the volcano started erupting on Sunday and here you really do get a sense of its power it's an awesome sight these truly are nature's strongest forces at work here and nobody can tame them nobody can control them.

That is absolutely red-hot lava that is spewing continuously into the air and then flowing downhill that's why it's been so destructive to the homes the villagers the communities that lie in the path of that lava.

That's also a huge ash cloud that is pouring up into the sky spreading across the island here on the east of la Palma we can show you what that volcanic dust is actually like it's more like gravel in places it's really quite coarse and there is a thick layer of that dust absolutely everywhere.

Because of the fact that the lava flowing downhill has cut off roads it has wiped through the infrastructure here and may mean villages are uninhabitable but being here so close you get a sense of how much heat that volcano is generating how much noise it is generating and the big unknown is just how long that eruption will continue how much more devastating it could be and where that lava flow will eventually end up.
