Dramatic footage circulating on social media shows how the torrent of lava from the La Palma’s Cumbre Vieja volcano proved too much for a local house to bear as its sheer force brought the entire structure to the ground in a cloud of smoke.
Emergency services can be seen filming as they anticipate the inevitable before the two-storey building collapses.
Glowing mounds of lava mud are also visible in the background and appear to dwarf nearby villas as they cascade down the side of the volcano.
The lava flows are estimated to be around 2,000 degrees fahrenheit.
Elsewhere footage shows the fiery remains of the devastation the lava rivers have caused.
