Sharjah 24 – AFP: Spain on Saturday said that the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Canary Islands was officially over, three months after it began spewing rivers of molten rock and ash into the air.
"It lasted 85 days and 18 hours," Julio Perez, a director of the Canary emergency volcanic response, said at a press conference. The eruption did not cause injuries or deaths, but destroyed 1,345 homes, as well as schools, churches, health centres and farm irrigation infrastructure.
