A blocky lava flow descends into a coconut grove during an eruption in 1976. This eruption, which lasted from July 1976 to September 1977, originated from a south-flank vent and produced a lava flow that traveled 7 km to the sea. The lava flow destroyed 24 houses and thousands of coconut and olive trees.
