Punta de Teno, Isla de Tenerife, Spain
The oldest mountain ranges in Tenerife rose up as islands from the Atlantic Ocean through volcanic eruptions around twelve million years ago. Tenerife as it is today was formed three million years ago by the fusion of three of these 'mountain islands' known today as the ranges of Anaga, Teno and Valle de San Lorenzo.
In this chance image captured on approach to the island's southern airport, the Teno Massif can be seen in the foreground at the north west of the island - characterised by deep ravines ending abruptly in the sea at the cliffs of Los Gigantes. At the centre of the island is Mount Teide which, at 3718m, can be seen from all around the island and from others in the Canarian archipelago.
