This aerial picture shows a destroyed house covered with lava following the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano, in La Laguna, on the Canary Island of La Palma on December 16, 2021. A volcanic eruption on the Spanish island of La Palma has shown its first sign it might be coming to an end after nearly three months, scientists said on December 15, 2021, although they could not rule out a new flare up in activity. The eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano has ebbed and flowed since it first began spewing lava on September 19, forcing the evacuation of over 7,000 people and destroying nearly 3,000 buildings.
