This is a natural park in which no endangered species of plant or animal are protected, it's a mineral museum in full activity: volcanic cones, craters, seas of lava,ash tongues of liquid magma that spewed from the bowels of the earth to solidify and sculpt natural monuments that defy the imagination, surfaces burnt by fire and temperatures that in certain places reach 400 C just a couple of metres below the ground. More than 177 different plant species cling to life and reproduce within the park. Animal life is also to be found in the form of birds reptiles and insects. The eruptions of the 17th and18th centuries transformed the most fertile regions of Lanzarote into a desert of death and desolation burying in their fury entire villages and outlying Hamlets and devastating the population and their crops.
The park is only accessable by coach and it is through a coach window this image was taken.
