Tenerife Mount Teide - Summit Sights With Sanasty

Take a trip to Mount Teide in Tenerife. El Teide, Pico del Teide is a volcano on Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Spain. Its summit at 3,718 m 12,198 ft is the highest point in Spain and the highest point above sea level in the islands of the Atlantic. The volcano and its surroundings comprise Teide National Park, which has an area of 18,900 hectares (47,000 acres) and was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO on June 28, 2007. Teide is the most visited natural wonder of Spain, the most visited national park in Spain and Europe and – by 2015 – the eighth most visited in the world with some 3 million visitors yearly. Teide last erupted in 1909 from the El Chinyero vent on the Santiago Ridge. With its three-million-year-old lava flows, volcanic cones, strata, and ancient rocks, this may look like a scene from another world, but in fact Mount Teide is located in the centre of Tenerife, its lava-strewn landscape stretching across the vast caldera of Las Cañadas. This is the Teide National Park, home to the highest peak in Spain and the third largest volcano on the planet. An overwhelming, spellbinding sight that takes the breath away with its colours and twisted forms. Never has such a bleak landscape ascended to this level of beauty. This 3,718-metre volcano is surrounded by desert—austere but with a wild beauty that never fails to impress. This extraordinary landscape of volcanoes and unusual volcanic formations, with its astonishing contrasts and amazing natural phenomena, such as the sea of clouds, led Unesco to declare it a World Heritage Site in 2007. We need to add another compelling reason that confirms Mount Teide’s unique place in the world: it is, without a doubt, the best place to identify the Earth’s evolutionary stages. One only has to observe the changes in colour and appearance of this extraordinary stratovolcano, born not on the edges of one of the Earth’s tectonic plates, but deep inside it. So take a day excursion from your holiday in Las Americas, Los Cristianos or Costa Adeje, hire a car and visit Mount Teide. BUY YOUR MACMASTER MERCH HERE... https://teespring.com/stores/the-macm...
