SASKATOON -

Since Sept. 19, plumes of smoke and rivers of bright red lava have been spewing out of the volcano on Spain's La Palma island and slowly transformed the area into a vista of destroyed homes and abandoned neighbourhoods.

Since the first eruption, lava and ash have covered or destroyed 1,100 buildings, including homes, farms, swimming pools, and at least one entire industrial park. The lives of thousands of residents on La Palma have been upended.

The following photos show the progression of the volcano鈥檚 devastation since it began erupting in September 2021.
