Lanzarote Volcanic Island Photo Gallery Lanzarote one of Spain's Canary Islands, is best known for it's nice climate and is favoured by many Europeans as a holiday destination. It is a like all other Canaries a volcanic island. It is covered with lava fields, cinder cones, craters and lava tubes. Between 1730 and 1736 a large eruption covered several villages with lava and ash. The lava fields and it's volcanoes Montanas del Fuego (mountains of fire) now form the national park Parque Nacional Timanfaya. The lack of moist gives the park a unique flora and fauna. The whole island is characterised by the enormous variety of landscapes.   El Golfo crater with green Algea Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain 1999   One of many Cindercones Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain 1999   Moonscape Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain 1999 Entrance Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain 1999   Parque Nacional de Timanfaya Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain 1999   The wave Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain 1999 El Golfo crater with volcanic neck Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain 1999   Colorful Sea Salt pans Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain 1999   Cindercone Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain 1999 Cindercone Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain 1999   Growing Grapes on volcanic soil Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain 1999   Castle on Cindercone Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain 1999
