A Volcanic Landscape
Timanfaya (Fire Mountain) National Park on Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.
This is an active volcano. The heat coming off just nine layers of volcanic rocks is used to cook chicken, steaks and fish for tourists in the Restaurant at the Timanfaya Park.
I can remember taking a sunset trip around the park many years ago and after sunset the craters glow with the volcanic activity beneath giving the impression of being on another planet. The solidified, surface lava underfoot is very hot.
Organised coach trips can be made to travel around the volcanic area as driving by car is not allowed on the one-way route.
