La Palma Volcanoes

La Palma's volcanic history is defined by the Cumbre Vieja ridge, a chain of vents and cones responsible for all the island's historical eruptions. This selection features the 2021 Tajogaite site, the 1971 Teneguía crater at the southern tip, and the 17th-century San Antonio cone. These sites showcase diverse geological formations, including solidified lava rivers, deep ash fields, and thermal vents that illustrate the ongoing evolution of the Canary Archipelago.
