Pico del Teide

Mount Teide (Spanish: Pico del Teide) is a volcano on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Its 3,718 metre high summit is the highest point in Spain, the highest point above sea level in the islands of the Atlantic, and it is the third highest volcano in the world measured from its base on the ocean floor. It remains active, with its most recent eruption occurring in 1909 from the El Chinyero vent on the north western Santiago rift. Teide together with its neighbour Pico Viejo and Montaña Blanca form the Central Volcanic Complex of Tenerife. (from wikipedia)
