ECUADOR - La Cumbre volcano is erupting in the Galapagos Islands and could harm unique wildlife.
La Cumbre volcano began spewing lava, gas and smoke on uninhabited Fernandina Island on Saturday after four
years of inactivity.
The eruption is not a threat to people living on nearby Isabela Island.
But lava flowing to the sea will likely affect marine and terrestrial iguanas, wolves and other fauna.
Fernandina is the island with the most volcanic activity in the archipelago. La Cumbre last erupted in May 2005.
