(Reuters) – La Palma’s volcanic eruption that sent molten lava flowing down La Cumbre’s slopes almost for three months has been the longest since records started in 1500.

The eruption began Sept. 19, according to Stavros Mesletlidis of the Spanish National Geographic Institute. This was longer than any other La Palma eruption since records began over 500 years ago.

It is a common wish that residents would be able to return to their normal lives.

People are tired. As a local Palmero I took a break and went to Madrid to get some air,” Juan Ernesto Pérez,57, of Los Llanos de Aridane told Reuters.

Disruptive has been the red-hot, glowing lava that lit up the night skies. The Copernicus disaster surveillance programme reports that lava flows caused damage to or destruction of at least 2650 buildings. This has forced thousands from their homes and prompted them to evacuate the Canaries archipelego.
