Thick clouds of smoke are billowing from the hillside of an erupting volcano on Spain’s La Palma island that has forced the evacuation of about 5,500 people, according to local officials.

The volcano began erupting on Monday night into Tuesday morning earlier this week.

The eruption marks the Canary Islands’ first in 50 years, and has destroyed at least 100 houses.
