Rivers of lava race down as La Palma volcano enters explosive phase

Rivers of lava raced down a volcano and exploded high into the air on the Spanish island of La Palma, in the Canary Islands. The airport was closed as an eruption intensified and entered its most explosive phase so far. Since it began erupting on 19 September, the Cumbre Vieja volcano has spewed out thousands of tons of lava, destroyed hundreds of houses and forced the evacuation of nearly 6,000 people
