Volcanic Landscapes of El Hierro
El Hierro is the youngest of the Canary Islands, shaped by intense volcanic activity and massive prehistoric landslides. This collection features the island's geological highlights, including the 1,501-meter Pico de Malpaso and the Tanganasoga cinder cone which dominates the El Golfo valley.
