The Active Volcano in the Canary Islands; El Hierro

Within the Canary Islands are 6 active volcanoes. One of these, La Palma, is erupting right now. With this being said, another island produced a volcanic eruption from 2011 to 2012. The island in question is El Hierro, which is the youngest of the seven large Canary Islands. It has erupted several times since the island has settled, and contains a large amount of young lava flows. This video will discuss this volcano, and mention what its future hazards are.
