29 Cumbre Vieja Volcano - La Palma

30 While stressing that there is no indication it could happen soon, Atlantic coastlines in Europe, Africa and the Americas are under threat from a monster wave of Hollywood -- even Biblical -- proportions, scientists have warned.

31 The fear is that a massive landslide following a major volcanic eruption in the Canary Islands would send a 300-foot wave across the Atlantic, causing devastation to coastal towns and cities.

32 In the worst-case scenario, the tidal wave would destroy the coasts of Florida and Brazil. Western Sahara, Portugal, Spain, France and parts of the UK would also be hit.

33 The Tsunami would be generated by the western flank twice the size of the Isle of Man falling into the sea following eruption.

34 The Tsunami would be generated by the western flank twice the size of the Isle of Man falling into the sea following eruption. The tsunami would travel at speeds of up to 500mph and would be the biggest recorded in history.

35 The Tsunami would be generated by the western flank twice the size of the Isle of Man falling into the sea following eruption. The tsunami would travel at speeds of up to 500mph and would be the biggest recorded in history. Immediately after the landslide, a dome of water almost 900 metres (3,000 ft) high and tens of kilometres wide will form, only to collapse and rebound.

The tsunami would travel at speeds of up to 500mph and would be the biggest recorded in history. Immediately after the landslide, a dome of water almost 900 metres (3,000 ft) high and tens of kilometres wide will form, only to collapse and rebound. Racing at the speed of a jet aircraft, it would reach Florida and the Caribbean in eight or nine hours.
