The eruption led to the evacuation of more than 5,000 people, and the lava flow has destroyed more than 600 buildings so far. Initially, when the eruption started, it had a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 0, when it was a purely effusive eruption. However, with the ashfall that began a week later, the VEI rose to 2.

The last subaerial volcanic eruption in Spain, also on La Palma, was the 1971 Teneguía eruption, which resulted in one fatality of a photographer who got too close to the lava and was asphyxiated by the fumes, but it caused no material damage. The last volcanic eruption in Spain until the 2021 eruption, was the 2011–12 El Hierro eruption, which was a submarine eruption.

The 2021 Cumbre Vieja eruption is an ongoing fissure eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the Canary Islands, Spain, on the island of La Palma. The eruption began on 19 September; an earthquake swarm which started on 11 September had indicated that fresh magma was rising beneath the island. It was the first eruption of the volcano since 1971.
The eruption led to the evacuation of more than 5,000 people, and the lava flow has destroyed more than 600 buildings so far. When the eruption started and was purely effusive, it had a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 0. With the ashfall that began a week later, the VEI rose to 2.

On 26 September, the previously stalled lava flows started again to advance towards the coast, destroying the Todoque neighbourhood church and advancing to the sea at a speed of 100 to 200 meters per hour, mostly on top of the older flow. Meanwhile, the volcano seemed to have entered a more stabilised period after the previous days of more explosive eruptions with a slight fall in seismic activity that took place at deeper depths than before, according to IGN.

The eruption began at 15:15 local time on 19 September 2021 in a forested area called "Cabeza de Vaca", of Montaña Rajada, in the Las Manchas section of the municipality of El Paso.
On 28 September, at around 23:02 local time, the lava flow reached the sea at the Beach of Los Guirres, also called New Beach, of the municipality of Tazacorte. The heating of the seawater to a high temperature might produce laze containing emissions of sulfuric, hydrochloric, and hydrofluoric acid into the air. Traces of sulphur dioxide emissions from the volcano itself had been detected in the upper stratosphere as far north as Scandinavia, but the actual impacts of the SO2 emissions on the weather and air quality were said to be globally negligible so far, mostly due to the emitted amounts and their altitude. Earlier on that day, Spain's government classified the island of La Palma as a disaster zone, due to the steadily increasing property and economic damage caused by the eruption, a move that will trigger emergency subsidies and other support measures.

Earthquake swarm |
An earthquake swarm started under Cumbre Vieja on 11 September 2021. It slowly migrated to the surface, with earthquakes up to around 3.5 on the Richter scale, and more than 22,000 recorded in the space of a week. A yellow warning of potential volcanic activity was issued on 13 September, covering 35,000 people in the municipalities of Los Llanos de Aridane, Fuencaliente, El Paso and Villa de Mazo. At least 40 individuals and some livestock on La Palma were evacuated by authorities due to this warning, although no complete evacuation of the vicinity around the volcano had been declared.

Name |
The current eruption is not a new volcano, but just a new vent of an ancient volcano, the Cumbre Vieja, which encompasses the whole southern half of La Palma. The new vent is as of yet unnamed. Volcano vents on La Palma have traditionally been either given Guanche names or, more rarely and not in recent times, named after the Saint on whose feast day the eruption began. An early proposal for a Guanche name for the new vent was Jedey, after a village a few kilometres distant, but this has not been received favourably. A newer proposal is Tajogaite, after the Guanche name for the Montaña Rajada ("Cracked Mountain"), the area directly downhill from the eruption site.. This name has since gained wider favour.

The 2021 Cumbre Vieja eruption is an ongoing fissure eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the Canary Islands, Spain, on the island of La Palma. An earthquake swarm started on 11 September, and the eruption started on 19 September. It was the first volcanic eruption on the island since 1971.
The eruption caused the evacuation of more than 5,000 people, and the lava flow has destroyed more than 600 buildings so far. When the eruption started and was purely effusive, it had a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 0. With the ashfall that began a week later, the VEI rose to 2.

As of 1 October the lava flows (currently estimated to be 80 million cubic metres) from the volcano have destroyed or possibly affected over 1,000 buildings, over 30 kilometres (19 mi) of roads and covered an area of more than 367 hectares (910 acres) with volcanic ash fall covering at least 3,300 hectares (8,200 acres) within the limits of monitored area, according to estimates from visual and radar satellite data by the Copernicus EMS. No casualties have been reported.
On 1 October, a new vent opened – the third in addition to the main crater. This emitted two streams of lava which cut the important LP2 highway and threatened more of the populated area of Los Llanos de Aridane.

The Cabeza de Vaca area lies northwest of the two 1949 eruptive centers (Duraznero and San Juan). Eyewitness accounts (Bonnelli, 1950) and detailed mapping of the eruptive products showed that during the 1949 eruption, fault displacements also had westward components with downslope movement on the volcano's flanks.
The last subaerial eruption in Spain, also on La Palma, was the 1971 Teneguía eruption, which asphyxiated a nearby photographer with its fumes, but caused no structural damage. The last overall was the 2011–12 El Hierro eruption of a submarine volcano.

Earthquake swarm |
An earthquake swarm started under Cumbre Vieja on 11 September 2021. It slowly migrated to the surface, with earthquakes up to around 3.5 on the Richter scale, and more than 22,000 earthquakes were recorded in the space of a week. A yellow warning of potential volcanic activity was issued on 13 September, covering 35,000 people in the municipalities of Los Llanos de Aridane, Fuencaliente, El Paso and Villa de Mazo. At least 40 individuals and some livestock on La Palma were evacuated by authorities due to this warning, although no complete evacuation of the vicinity around the volcano had been declared.

Human impact of the lava flow |
On 28 September, at around 23:02 local time (00:02 UTC), the lava flow reached the sea at the Beach of Los Guirres, also called New Beach, of the municipality of Tazacorte. The heating of the seawater to a high temperature might produce laze containing emissions of sulfuric, hydrochloric, and hydrofluoric acid into the air. Traces of sulphur dioxide emissions from the volcano itself had been detected in the upper stratosphere as far north as Scandinavia, but the actual impacts of the SO2 emissions on the weather and air quality were said to be globally negligible so far, mostly due to the emitted amounts and their altitude. Earlier on that day, Spain's government classified the island of La Palma as a disaster zone, due to the steadily increasing property and economic damage caused by the eruption, a move that will trigger emergency subsidies and other support measures.

The last subaerial eruption in Spain, also on La Palma, was the 1971 Teneguía eruption, which asphyxiated a nearby photographer with its fumes, but caused no structural damage. The last overall was the 2011–12 El Hierro eruption of a submarine volcano.

The eruption has caused the evacuation of over 5,000 people, and the lava flow has destroyed more than 600 buildings so far. When the eruption started and was purely effusive, it had a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 0. With the ashfall that began a week later, the VEI rose to 2.

The eruption has caused the evacuation of over 5,000 people, and the lava flow has destroyed more than 900 buildings so far. When the eruption started and was purely effusive, it had a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 0. With the ashfall that began a week later, the VEI rose to 2.
On 4 October, the main cone of the volcano collapsed, increasing the lava flow.

Name |
The eruption source is not a new volcano: It is a new vent of an ancient volcano, the Cumbre Vieja, which encompasses the whole southern half of La Palma. The new vent is as yet unnamed. Volcano vents on La Palma have traditionally been either given Guanche names or, more rarely and not in recent times, named after the Saint on whose feast day the eruption began. An early proposal for a Guanche name for the new vent was Jedey, after a village a few kilometres distant, but this has not been received favourably. A newer proposal is Tajogaite, after the Guanche name for the Montaña Rajada ("Cracked Mountain"), the area directly downhill from the eruption site. This name has since gained wider favour.

Human impact of the lava flow |
As of 2 October the lava flows (currently estimated to be 80 million cubic metres) from the volcano have destroyed or affected over 1,000 buildings, over 30 kilometres (19 mi) of roads and covered an area of nearly 400 hectares (990 acres), with volcanic ash fall covering over 4,800 hectares (12,000 acres) within the limits of the monitored area, according to estimates from visual and radar satellite data by the Copernicus EMS. No casualties have been reported.
On 26 September, the previously stalled lava flows started again to advance towards the coast, destroying the Todoque neighbourhood church of Saint Pius X and advancing to the sea at a speed of 100 to 200 meters per hour, mostly on top of the older flow. Meanwhile, the volcano seemed to have entered a more stabilised period after the previous days of more explosive eruptions with a slight fall in seismic activity that took place at deeper depths than before, according to IGN.

The Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, went to the archipelago shortly after the eruption to see the situation on La Palma first-hand, the coordination of the system and the protocols activated, postponing a trip to New York to attend the Seventy-sixth session of the United Nations General Assembly.
The European Union, on 19 September, activated the Copernicus Programme to monitor the eruption and the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, via Twitter, announced that "additional support, if necessary," would be made available to the Spanish government.

Political reactions |
|
On 20 September, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism, Reyes Maroto, declared that the eruption on La Palma could be used as a tourist attraction to lure visitors. Her comments caused widespread criticism, because homes, public buildings and businesses began to be destroyed by the lava flows. Later, due to mounting criticism, including from opposition politicians, Reyes Maroto retracted her words.

Human impact of the lava flow |
On 28 September, at around 23:02 local time (00:02 UTC), the lava flow reached the sea at the Beach of Los Guirres, also called New Beach, of the municipality of Tazacorte. The heating of the seawater to a high temperature might produce laze containing emissions of sulfuric, hydrochloric, and hydrofluoric acid into the air. Traces of sulphur dioxide emissions from the volcano had been detected in the upper stratosphere as far north as Scandinavia, but the actual impacts of the SO2 emissions on the weather and air quality were said to be globally negligible so far, mostly due to the emitted amounts and their altitude. Earlier on that day, Spain's government classified the island of La Palma as a disaster zone, due to the steadily increasing property and economic damage caused by the eruption, a move that will trigger emergency subsidies and other support measures.

On 7 October, at 12:17 local time, an earthquake of magnitude 4.3 mbLg was detected on the island at a depth of 35 km. This was the strongest earthquake since the start of the eruption. By the end of the day, the lava had covered 422 hectares of land and the lava delta had grown to cover an area of 38 hectares.
On 9 October, part of the north face of the volcano collapsed, causing the lava within the crater to spill out. Three new lava streams were formed. By the following day, one of the new lava streams reached Callejón de la Gata, an industrial area of Los Llanos de Aridane, and destroyed what was left of the town of Todoque.

Name |
The eruption source is a new vent of the Cumbre Vieja volcano which encompasses the whole southern third of La Palma. The new vent is as yet unnamed. Volcano vents on La Palma have traditionally been either given Guanche names or, more rarely and not in recent times, named after the Saint on whose feast day the eruption began. An early proposal for a Guanche name for the new vent was Jedey, after a village a few kilometres distant, but this has not been received favourably. A newer proposal is Tajogaite, after the Guanche name for the Montaña Rajada ("Cracked Mountain"), the area directly downhill from the eruption site. This name has since gained wider favour.

The eruption has caused the evacuation of over 5,000 people. The lava flow is about a kilometre wide and has reached the sea, destroying more than 1000 buildings, cutting the coastal highway and forming a new peninsula. When the eruption started and was purely effusive, it had a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 0. With the ashfall that began a week later, the VEI rose to 2.

Human impact of the lava flow |
|
By 12 October, the lava flow had covered over 595 hectares. A fire at a cement factory and the risk of lava affecting more factories and warehouses in an industrial area led to the confinement of 3,500 people in El Paso and Los Llanos de Aridane, with the northern lava flow around 300 metres from the sea. A magnitude 4.1 earthquake also occurred at a depth of 11 kilometers.

Previous eruptions |
The Cabeza de Vaca area lies northwest of the two 1949 eruptive centers (Duraznero and San Juan). Eyewitness accounts (Bonnelli, 1950) and detailed mapping of the eruptive products showed that during the 1949 eruption, fault displacements also had westward components with downslope movement on the volcano's flanks.
