The La Palma volcano, known as Cumbre Vieja (old summit) is a stratovolcano and volcanic ridge composed of layers of cooled lava flows and ash. The summit of the volcano consists of a caldera formed by an ancient eruption. During an eruption in 1949 a fracture formed along part of the volcano and a portion of the island slid eastward and downward. There is some concern that, in a future eruption, this slope could fail in a massive landslide, triggering a tsunami that would threaten coasts along the Atlantic Ocean, including the U.S. East Coast.
