TEIDE, A WORLD BORN OF FIRE

Two hundred miles off the northwest coast of Africa, the highest active volcano in the Atlantic Ocean gives its name to the inhospitable desert that sourrounds it. It is about Teide. Its gigantic pyramidal shape, rises above the raging Atlantic waters like an unassailable colossus. The lands surrounding Teide are wild and rugged places. A volcanic desert subjected to sudden temperature changes and an extreme solar radiation, capable of destroying, century after century, the most powerful mountains of petrified lava.
