ΗΦΑΙΣΤΕΙΟ ΣΤΙΣ ΦΙΛΙΠΠΙΝΕΣ


After four years of inactivity, the La Cumbre volcano in the Galapagos Islands started spewing lava, gas and smoke Saturday, The Associated Press reports. La Cumbre is located on the uninhabited Fernandina Island in the Galapagos archipelago. The Galapagos National Park said in a statement that the eruption does not pose a threat to people living on nearby Isabela Island. However, it said the lava flowing to the sea will likely affect marine and terrestrial iguanas, sea lions and other fauna. The islands' unique animal and plant species became the basis for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
