Digital surface model of the Cumbre Vieja new volcano edifice and lava flows (La Palma, Spain) as of 27 September 2021, produced from 915 UAS derived aerial photographs using the Structure-from-Motion method. The 2021 eruption of Cumbre Vieja volcano is the largest eruptive event in recorded history for La Palma Island (Canary Island, Spain). Over almost 3 months (September 19 - December 13, 2021), the volcano produced profound morphological changes in the landscape affecting both the natural and the anthropic environment over an area of tens of km2. The model shows numerous volcanic features including the new main edifice, lava flows, rafted material on lava flows, and tephra deposits.
