LOS LLANOS DE ARIDANE, Canary Islands—Hundreds of people in Spain’s Canary Islands feared for their homes and property on Oct. 13 as a new river of lava from an erupting volcano threatened another neighborhood on the island of La Palma.
Island authorities ordered the evacuation of around 800 people from the coastal town of Los Llanos de Aridane on Oct. 12 after the lava took a new course on its way to the Atlantic Ocean and put their homes in a probable path of destruction. It was the first mass exit since around 6,000 people were told to leave immediately after the Cumbre Vieja volcano erupted on Sept. 19.
