In fact, the most active volcano on the Canary Islands is Cumbre Vieja, and it has erupted three times.
First in 1949, then in 1971, and most recently in 2021. And while the events shown in the Norwegian disaster series are plausible, the earthquakes from Cumbre Vieja's could lead to a massive tsunami in the Atlantic Ocean. However, most scientists are in agreement that such a scenario would be highly unlikely today.
