The lava flow produced by the Cumbre Vieja volcano falls into the Atlantic Ocean in Tazacorte on the Canary island of La Palma. While the feared explosion and clouds of toxic gases released as the molten rock hit the ocean have not materialised, experts warn a forecast change in wind may bring new hazards. IMAGES

The Spanish archipelago had earlier declared an exclusion zone of two nautical miles around the location the lava was expected to enter the Atlantic and asked residents to stay at home. The Cumbre Vieja volcano, which straddles a southern ridge in La Palma, an island with 85,000 inhabitants, erupted on September 19, spewing out rivers of lava that have slowly crept towards the sea.
