Volcano Erupts in Galapagos
Galapagos Islands, Ecuador - Galapagos National Park officials say that the volcano, La Cumbre, began spewing lava, gas and smoke on uninhabited Fernandina Island on Saturday after four years of inactivity.
The park said in a statement the eruption is not a threat to people living on nearby Isabela Island, but it says lava flowing to the sea is likely to affect marine and terrestrial iguanas, sea lions and other fauna.
Scientists say Fernandina is the island with the most volcanic activity in the archipelago. La Cumbre last erupted in May 2005.
