Volcanoes and peaks in Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are a volcanic archipelago shaped by millions of years of tectonic activity. This collection features prominent summits and volcanic structures across the islands, including the basaltic monoliths of La Gomera, the ancient Los Ajaches massif in Lanzarote, and the recent cinder cones of La Palma. These sites showcase diverse geological formations such as phonolitic necks, oxidized craters, and rugged ridges formed by cooling lava and extensive erosion.
