Volcanic Heritage - An Aerial Journey

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Top contributor haussmannvisuals brings us this stunning drone video from the volcanoes of Lanzarote, part of Spain's Canary Islands chain off the coast of Africa.  Like the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote was created by volcanic activity arising from the breakup of two tectonic plates.  It is quite young, having emerged from the Atlantic Ocean about 15 million years ago: a mere blink of the eye in geological terms.  Lanzarote's highest point (Peñas del Chache) has a maximum elevation of about 2.2k ft. above sea level (about 670 m).
