Huge volume of lava pouring into the sea. Volcanic lava deposit on the coast is already approximately 100 meters high in less than an hour.

*I don't think this lava deposit is sitting on the ocean floor. If not, at some point this huge mass of cooled lava may slide into the ocean. La Palma is sitting on a steep elevation. Dutch said it was about 6000 ft to the ocean floor.

Correction: La Palma's base lies almost 4,000 m (13,123 ft) below sea level.

There's a little shelf off the coast where the lava is pouring into the sea, and then it drops off 13,000 feet straight down to the ocean floor. Very precipitous drop from what I can tell on Google maps.
