I was in Volcano Village, Hawaii, when Mauna Kea erupted on the other side of the world a couple years ago, and it was very similar to this. These islands on both oceans are absolutely beautiful, but one forgets about the fierce forces that created them and are still at work beneath one’s feet.

What a beautiful island, sad to see all them beautiful homes destroyed 😢 nature reclaims what is hers.

Yes, thats how islands form. But obviously scientists worry for a reason. For one thing, its unique geology. For another, it has a very steep drop not far from its shorelines. Its the combo thats deadly, and La Palma has been cited as one of the biggest potential threats.

Bruh... As a La Palma native I felt the need to address this. All good footage and the first two minutes were quite nice, up until the point of the "traces of last eruption" (2:21). At that point the video becomes a bit sensationalist. Those "traces" are from a much older volcano, NOT the 1971 eruption (Teneguía) which happened far to the south of the island. The "mega-tsunami" is not coming for at least a few thousand years (if it even happens at all ;DD). And to answer the title of the video... "what the volcano looked like before the eruption" - it did not. There was no volcano. It was a normal "hill" where anyone could go for a walk up until lava started coming out of the ground and piling up to create the "volcanic cone" you can see now. I understand that the drama of natural disasters attracts views but at least add some accurate explanations. Thank you for reading.

The video is very good, but the claims of some scientists about the possibility of a megastunami have since been discredited. Volcano Discovery and IGME both have very good scientific data and updates about the state of this eruption. It is considered a small, effussive, and midly explosive Strobolian type with a VEI (volcano explosivity index) of only 2 on a scale of 8. Still, very spectacular at close range, and disastrous for those who have lost homes and livelihoods.

Hi, been there twice in the late 90's and hiked on her ridges, so on her cones. It was terribly difficult to hike because of the heat and drought, sometimes there were pine forests but above the trees nothing than black sand. But she is beautiful and it fills me with sadness that she destroyed so many Palmese people their houses and banana crops. But that is the risk of living on an island made by volcano's, you never know exactly when they wake up and come alive. I felt never unsafe on her ridges strangely but not. Both times I stayed in Los Llanos de Aridane near the big Caldera de Taburiente, on the westside of the island, very friendly people and delicious manchego cheeses and local wines. If airplanes will fly on less Co2 fluids then hopefully I will return because this island is in my heart after such an long time I visited her. For now I wish and pray that the people there are safe and Cumbre Vieja only released some manmade tension and pressure, I don't believe in those fearmonging predictions in this video. Greetings from the Netherlands👋🌞🇳🇱

Last éruption was 1971, maybe some of these house were there even before the previous eruption. On my island Martinique there was a volcano that erupted over 100 years ago. The city since then has been rebuilt exactly where it happened. It's even worse cause we have an explosive volcano like the one that destroyed Pompei, not lava flow. It killed every single person in that city that used to be the capital.

Y para los que lean mi comentario y opinen que los palmeros construyeron al lado de un volcán que estudien un poco y vean que cada isla que componen el archipiélago canario son de orígenes volcánicos y puede emerger un volcán en cualquier lugar.
