The 2021 Cumbre Vieja volcanic eruption began on 19 September 2021 and lasted for 86 days, making it the longest and most destructive since records began on La Palma.
We had the chance to capture it between October 11th and 16th, getting a small impression of what the local population had to endure for over 3 months.
The lava flow has covered over 1000 hectares, destroyed more than 3000 buildings and caused the evacuation of over 7000 people. Damage is estimated to be close to 1 Billion Euro.

So awesome, must have been a crazy experience!
You need to comeback man, your work is amazing too
comeback man
Wow 😯. Excellent movie. Beautiful shots of that mighty volcano. I love the soundtrack too.
This is absolutely the most beautiful film of the La Palma volcano I've seen! You must have spent so many hours. Hats off!
This eruption started shortly after the unexpected death of our dear and lovely younger sister. Every night I watched the live feed, thankful that the stunning images in red and gold created a warm glow in my room, countering the shocked chill in my mind and heart. Your film is a glorious celebration of the truly awesome nature of our beautiful planet.
This cinematography is on another level! It feels like I’m watching an intense movie like Dune (2021) with Hans Zimmer music playing.
It really does
And there's martin again, nailing it like everytime!
Espectacular vídeo. La vida siempre brota de nuevo palmeros, y más allí en la Palma. Sois un pueblo de supervivientes. Mucho ánimo.
Incredible footage Martin! Love those above the cloud moon shots and especially the slow-mo ;)
Welcome to my channel
I remember watching this when you released it, and it was truly impressive. It was refreshing seeing something original like this on KZhead. So I was expecting it to have passed several hundred thousand views by now... Sometimes I don’t understand KZhead’s algorithm. This video deserves a lot more attention for sure.
Thanks! And I fully agree. This is even the best performing video of my last 10 uploads. Can be frustrating for sure.
they promote stupidity and mindless drivel what do you expect
@@TimestormFilmsI think you have to keyword optimise the title. Even the world volcano is not mentioned
Absolutely beautiful and stunning. Nature is the king.
Grandios, great Movie and Work, RIP Cumbre Vieja
Nice Video 📸
Grazie per queste bellissime emozioni! ❤
This is by far, the best video I have watched about La Palma volcano Cumbre Vieja...I wondered why I did not find it last year...
Didn't blink for 7 minutes and 21 seconds. This is a damn masterpiece! Thank you
Atemberaubend! Schnitt, Sound, Grading und natürlich die Aufnahmen selbst… ein Traum. Sowas gehört in die Trends und nicht irgendwelche Gamer oder Influencer.
You never cease to amaze me with your releases. You have truly captured the majesty and power of mother nature with this one. Well done indeed. 👍👍
Probably the best footage I have seen of the La Palma volcano. Great work as always !
Simultaneously stunningly beautiful and terrible. Thank you for making me feel appropriately small in the face of the forces on display here. Superb work.
Such beautiful imagery, of one of the greatest spectacles a human being can witness. The last minute of this video is so amazingly synchronized with sound and visuals it literally makes the hairs on my arms stand up. Thank you .
Ganz großes Kino!
perhaps this is the "me nerd" talking, but I love how you did cross the eruption theme from your previous video in Calbuco. I recognized it immediately. Awesome work, as always!!!
Incredible footage! And perfect music choice for these scenes.
Mindblowing! Almost out of words to describe what i have just seen. This is so extremely well made from start to end, and those slow motion clips at the end, WOOW. Congrats with the result! Will watch again and again. Thanks for putting all this together for us to watch here on youtube. Really appriciate it.
Einfach genial. Bringt Cumbre Vieja auf den Punkt.
"Film by: Martin Heck" Heck of a film, Martin! 👍
Masterful work! No other footage of an eruption can even come close to this artfully captured, hauntingly beautiful film! I'm in awe...
Wow. Just wow. There is nobody evey in this world who shots good pictures as you do! This is THE best capture of the la palma volcano ever!
Beautiful and mesmerizing but also terrifying. Amazing cinematography!!👏🌋
Great work, so glad to see it out in the world! Kudos!
Thanks
Timestorm Films Never ceases to Amaze one's #VisualCortex with an array of Destruction & Beauty. Thanks again.
Gorgeous!!! Just phenomenal!
Spectacular piece! Thanks!
Cinematography.👍👍 beyond my imagination
Wahrlich überwältigende Aufnahmen! Ja, so ein Naturereignis ist sehenswert. Und diese Bilder setzen es fantastisch in Szene.
You guys are my heroes. Your level of creativity and technical acuity and your mastery of visual storytelling ... well, yours are the standards to which I aspire. I have such a long way to go - so much to learn. Thank you for these beautiful films and for the inspiration.
Insane Timelapse!
Unsurpassed work. It is stunning to see it all with your own eyes
This.. is just something altogether beyond breathtaking and stunning... Just.. Wow.. What a phenomenal job on this, music, visuals, editing, all of it. Just beyond incredible.. What a journey this all has been. But not for a second am I disappointed it's over. SHAME on any who would be. This beast was beautiful and awe inspiring for sure. But also altogether devastating for the people of LP, on a multitude of levels. Now the next phase can begin, and they have a long road to recovery. I encourage all those who got so much out of this to please, if you have the means, donate what you can. It all matters!
Instantly recognised the music as the same soundtrack as you used for "Calbuco", Ryan Tarbert's "Anomaly" theme. Loved that. I can't believe it's taken this long for me to actually notice this video (thank you, KZhead's algorithm...) but I'm so glad I did. Stunning, stunning work. Your cinematography is second-to-none.
Saludos de Costa Rica 🤙
Hi! Martin! I live here, in La Palma Awesome shots!!!
Hammermäßig. Vielen lieben Dank dafür
Simply breathtaking💯✨
Thank You...
Потрясающие кадры! Браво!
Absolutely beautiful! I have watched the volcano since day one. I recognize those moments you have captured so beautifully. I got emotional watching. I actually teared up a little. Absolutely beautiful.
Very nice picture quality. Thanks.
definitely best of the La Palma videos! Thanks!
Sin duda alguna haces un trabajo increíble 👌🏼
Damn I have tears in my eyes... this is sooo beautiful. This is art at its finest, thx for the awesome atmosphere!
How visceral was that! I think you've excelled yourself Martin. The point where you panned the camera downwards to keep the ejecta stationary was very imaginative and skilful! A wonderful film of the power of nature. Thank you!
Absolutely marvelous, mysterious, spellbinding, awesome. Great video and wonderful music by Taubert!
You guys did it again!!!! What a masterpiece!!!
It's unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it. Bravo Martin.
Wow! Absolutely beautiful scenes. Keep up the great work! Glad to see you are back after a long break!
Cool stars and red lava and red buueaty light
All of your films are masterpieces. I love your work.
Wahnsinn, mal wieder ein fantastisches Video!
This was breathtaking!
Ich kann es kaum fassen ? Schönes Schauspiel und dennoch todernst !
And fantastic music Ryan
Wow! This is really out of this world. I had been following this volcano from day 1 but never seen it quite like this! Very well done!
Amazing Film Martin
Wow!! This is just awesome!!! Outstanding! Mindblowing! I was at La Palma too for three days, and also made a timelapse video... but this one is just ... awe inspiring! Thank you for sharing this work to us! Congrats!

Many thanks Philipp! Thanks for all the help!
Да, проявление Стихии это нечто. уровень красоты равен опасности. Но потрясло, что рядом горели огни домов… Спасибо огромное, что я могу увидеть эту красоту!
ВОИСТИНУ 👍👍👍 , СТАВИМ ЛАЙКИ , ПИШЕМ КОМЕНТЫ ЧЕТЫРЕ И БОЛЕЕ СЛОВ , ВЫВОДИМ ВИДЕО В ТОПЫ !!!
рядом с потоком магмы валят потоки машин , как будто ничего и не случилось
корче шедеврально !!!
Der Wahnsinn Martin. Glückwunsch zu solch tollen Bildern :D

Fascinating and captivating!
Hipnótico. Precioso trabajo.

stunning and perfect music thank you for sharing, l watched la palma for the whole 3 months it was amazing, l felt for the people there though and the animals
Crazy footage ! WOW !
Hipnotizante! Enhorabuena por el video.
I have been looking forward to this! Love the music and that lightning at 3:11.

Großartig gemacht! Tolle Aufnahmen, Zeitraffer ist genial, Musik, Zusammenstellung, Perspektiven,...wow!😍🌋
Wonderful. And thanks to Ryan Taubert for the music.
Incredible! 😳 Outstanding work! 👌
What amazing footage, it must have taken forever to put it together. Thank you for such a stunning film…
Stunning, beautiful, mesmerising, utterly superb, awesome captures, perfect in every respect, fabulous time lapse sequences.
Holy cow, Martin, you and your team have outdone yourselves once again! Thanks for fulfilling my secret wish that someone would create such a film of Cumbre Vieja. This is the next best thing to being there myself.
Thank you!! Stunning film, so well edited and photographed + very wellchosen soundtrack
Wieder eine sehr gute Produktion. Passende Musik, top postprocessing. Mir gefällt am besten die Aufnahme mit der querlaufenden Baumreihe. Ich hoffe ich kann mir das Schauspiel nächstes Jahr anschauen.
Breathtaking works Sir... subscribed and shared :)
Never seen anything like this , incredible .The news on tv , here , did not cover this in detail so thanks for bringing some sense of the destruction to our attention .
3 things I really want to see: A volcanic eruption, a tornado and the eye of a hurricane. I have gotten so lose to the last one but never quite got in.
Magnificent shots and editing. Beautiful work.
Harika bir çalışma 👍
Unbelievable. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us. I have been following you for years, and even though I'm young, I can tell, you're a master of capturing change over time. "Eruption"... Things becoming balanced, one or another. pressure differences force new magma up, starting slow. Seeping through cracks, flowing naturally, showering, until finally it's erupting.. whether it's dead of night, or high noon, the eruption shines, like it belongs in the sky... Anyway, thank you so much, for posting this stuff for free . You're helping the world learn. Take care, Martin. keep up the grind, and keep shining ✨
Absolutely mesmerizing 😱
Martin, like always so damn good clips inside and the music matched it perfectly! WOW!
