Volcanic landscape on the coast of La Palma after the eruption.

The science outreach program Doble Hélice 3.0, produced by the University of La Laguna and broadcast on Radio Nacional de España, has conducted a historic broadcast from the lava delta in La Palma.

The production, marking the show's 600th episode, took place on-site to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the volcanic eruption. The recording was carried out under strict safety protocols coordinated by firefighters to monitor carbon dioxide levels in the area.
During the broadcast, experts from the University of La Laguna analyzed the geological and biological evolution of the site. They highlighted the coastline's retreat, which has lost over 100 meters due to marine erosion, as well as the resilience and biological colonization process occurring in the new volcanic seabeds.
This radio show, with thirteen years of history, is the result of a collaboration agreement between the academic institution and RTVE. Its main objective is to disseminate research developed at the university to both regional and international audiences.
