GFZ Potsdam: Forscher aus Brandenburg erkunden Vulkan-Ausbruch auf La Palma – wie gefährdet sind Urlauber?
Das Geo-Forschungs-Zentrum (GFZ) in Potsdam ist das nationale Forschungszentrum für die Geowissenschaften in Deutschland. Wenn es irgendwo auf der Welt größere Vulkanausbrüche gibt, sind die Wissenschaftler aus Brandenburg garantiert dabei. Auf der Kanareninsel erlitten sie Verluste.
Für die Menschen vor Ort eine Gefahr, für die Wissenschaft ein wichtiges Ereignis: Seit Mitte September stößt der Vulkan im Südwesten von La Palma über 1000 Grad heiße Lavamasssen aus.

Im Südwesten der Insel La Palma: Die Cumbre Vieja (deutsch: Alter Höhenrücken) ist eine knapp 2000 Meter hohe und etwa 14 Kilometer lange Vulkankette auf der zu den Kanaren gehörenden Insel im Atlantik. Der Ort La Mancha ist von dem rot markierten Lavastrom betroffen.
