After nearly two weeks, the volcano erupting on a Spanish Island near Morocco is showing no signs of stopping. On Tuesday, lava and smoke continued to spill out onto La Palma in the Canary Islands, destroying homes, infrastructure and livelihoods.

The European Union’s earth observation program said nearly 600 buildings and more than 13 miles of road had been destroyed by the volcano. The lava flow had covered more than 630 acres of the roughly 22-mile-long island, the Copernicus organization said. It also said sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere from the eruption was forecast to travel from the Spanish archipelago near northwest Africa as far as the remote Arctic archipelago of Svalbard.

The lava has caused devastation on the island, but experts fear that the situation could become even worse if the flaming rock reaches the ocean, resulting in possible dangerous chemical reactions releasing acidic steam and gas as well as tiny pieces of volcanic glass into the air.

The eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano began on Sept. 19, prompting the evacuation of some 6,000 people on the island of 85,000. No serious injuries or deaths linked to the eruption have been reported, but the ruptures have destroyed homes and covered many of the much-valued banana crops people on the island rely on for income.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced an aid package for the island, to help residents rebuild their lives, but it’s not clear when those who left La Palma can return to what they lost. The last time the volcano erupted, in 1971, the activity continued for nearly a month.
