PL-1103716 Lanzarote - Canary Islands

Lanzarote is the easternmost island of the Canary Islands (which belongs to Spain) and has a volcanic origin. It was born through fiery eruptions and has solidified lava streams as well as extravagant rock formations. The island emerged about 15 million years ago as a product of the Canary hotspot. The greatest recorded eruptions occurred between 1730 and 1736 in the area now designated Timanfaya National Park (see .http://flynnfrogg.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/timanfaya-national-park.html)
