Cumbre Vieja, Stratovolcano in La Palma, Spain
The Cumbre Vieja volcanic ridge spans the southern section of La Palma island, reaching an elevation of 1944 meters above sea level.
The volcano experienced multiple eruptions throughout its history, with documented events in 1470, 1949, 1971, and most recently from September to December 2021.
Local communities on La Palma maintain strong connections to the volcano through traditional festivals and educational programs about volcanic activity.
Multiple hiking trails provide access to different sections of the volcanic ridge, with guided tours available from certified local operators.
The 2021 eruption created new land formations as lava flows extended into the Atlantic Ocean, permanently changing the island's coastline.
