Optical Illusion
The big eruption of Mount Corona happened around 3000 years ago. The liquid stone shot out with a tremendous force and covered a big area in the Northeast of Lanzarote Island. The lava cooled out quickly on the surface, but underground it continued to flow towards the Atlantic Ocean. The lava ebbed away, the empty tunnels stayed, building the worlds biggest lava tube. Parts of this tunnel system can be visited on a guided tour. You climb down 50 meters through a huge hole into this mysterious underworld. At the end of the tour you arrive at this spectacular, steep abyss...or is it a reflection? However that may be...the tour guide allowed me to stay longer than the group to take my photographs in a calm and lonely setting.
Panoramic view made out of 6 single shots.
