The third updated edition is available since march 2022. It covers the area affected by the volcanic eruption
LA PALMA ERUPTION (19. SEPTEMBER- 13. DECEMBER 2021) The volcano activity lasted 85 days and it was the longest known eruption on the island. Most of the 7.000 people that had been evacuated have lost their homes. The lava flow covered 1.219 hectares with a thickness of up to 60 meter, destroyed 2.988 buildings and banana plantations and completely devastated the village of Todoque. It also cut the coastal highway and other roads and formed two new coastal headlands, one of them 500 m wide and with a surface of 43,5 hectares. The most likely name for the new volcano is Tajogaite, which means “Montaña Rajada” (cracked mountain) in the aboriginal language, and is the name of the place where the eruption started. The best viewpoint to see the new volcano and its consequences is Mirador del Time on the LP-1 road between Llanos de Aridane and Tijarafe. The leading maps publishing house of Editorial Alpina would like to show, with this special edition, the magnitude of the devastation. The company and its customers will also donate € 1 from the sale of each map to support the people affected by the eruption. As most help was urgently needed, the donation of € 1.500 was given before these maps were even published on february 2022 (www.canarias-maps.info/donativo.htm)
