Experts from the Spanish Military Emergency Unit (UME) measure the toxicity of the gases emitted when lava meets the sea. The river of glowing lava from the Cumbre Vieja volcano that erupted ten days ago on the island of La Palma in the Spanish Canary Islands is still flowing into the Atlantic Ocean at midday, but the wind is pushing the toxic gases out to sea, avoiding, at least for the time being, the local population.

Images of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma island as it continues to erupt since it began spewing ash and lava on September 19. So far no one has died or been hurt in the eruption, although around 6,000 of La Palma's 85,000 inhabitants have been evacuated. IMAGES
Images show the Cumbre Vieja volcano erupting as it belches out more lava and forces another 500 people to flee. The Cumbre Vieja on Spain's Canary Islands volcano has forced a total of 6,000 people from their homes and destroyed around 100 properties since it erupted on Sunday afternoon. A vast river of molten lava from the volcano continues to destroy everything in its path as it edges towards the sea, where its arrival is expected to generate clouds of toxic gases. IMAGES
The Cumbre Vieja volcano continues to send huge plumes of thick black smoke into the sky and lava after it erupted Sunday. Lava has destroyed homes and around 5,000 people have been evacuated from the area. IMAGES
