Glowing rivers of lava lit up the night on the Spanish island of La Palma on Wednesday, November 10, as the island approached the two-month mark since the Cumbre Vieja volcano’s first eruption on September 19.

The Canary Islands Volcanology Institute (Involcan) released video they said was captured at 6:45 pm local time on Wednesday, showing the fiery lava delta.

The lava delta that has been formed at the coast of La Palma has swallowed more of Los Guirres beach, video showed and local media reported, as fresh flows from the Cumbre Vieja volcano reached the sea.

The European Union’s Copernicus satellite program estimated that volcanic lava covered 999.6 hectares of land on La Palma by November 9, destroying 2,605 buildings.

The volcano has been erupting continuously since September 19, covering nearly 1,000 hectares (roughly 3.85 square miles) with lava, according to imagery analyzed by the European Union’s Copernicus satellite program.
