Surreal & apocalyptic images of ash, as eruptions and earthquakes continue on La Palma

Volunteers are attempting to pick up the pieces, shoveling ash from rooftops, as the Cumbre Vieja eruption enters its fourth week.

With no end in sight, authorities said they were expecting the lava flow to keep spreading northwest from the volcano after they helped 300 more people evacuate homes.

On Thursday a 4.5 magnitude earthquake also rocked the island, the second largest since the eruptions began. (Spanish National Geographic Institute)
