Latest status after La Palma volcano disaster

Massive clean up efforts and a major reconstruction are currently underway on the volcanic island of La Palma after the volcano eruption stopped at the end of last year. 

Prof. Valentin Troll (Uppsala University) has been involved in researching the volcano's activity on the ground and the consequences of the eruption on the population and infrastructure of the island. His reports on the situation on La Palma are available on Sverigesradio's website (in Swedish and English) or on SVT's website (in English).
