A Terrifying Tide of Red Hot lava, streaming from the world's newest volcano on Iceland's Heymaey Island, is continuing its relentless two-month flow and burning and engulfing homes in the town at its base. This view shows part of the three-mile wide stream of lava from the new Kirkju (church) Mountain about to swallow up buildings in its path. From the air, the lava flow appears as a giant black hand, with greedy, red-tipped fingers clutching about a quarter of the town. Heymaey's 5,300 inhabitants were evacuated after the volcano erupted Feb. 23. Some 400 inhabitants temporarily have been allowed back on the island but they must always be ready for fast evacuation. Kirkju Mountain, created by the volcano, has reached a height of 575 feet in two months —nearly as high as its ancient "neighbor," the old volcano Helgafjell, or holy mountain, which is last believed to have erupted 6,000 years or more ago.Photo measures 10 x 8.25inches.
