Altre informazioni

The cliff in this photo is part of the El Golfo collapse embayment, formed by the catastrophic collapse of a huge volcano, an event which would have produced giant tsunamis in the Atlantic Ocean. The date of the collapse is not known precisely. It is believed to have happened in prehistoric times, before the Canary Islands were occupied by humans, but in geologically very recent times (less than 200, 000 years). The cliff is gigantic, over 1 km high in places.
