Volcanic Landscapes of Lanzarote
Overview
Lanzarote is the oldest island in the Canaries. Its extraordinary landscapes created by the violent volcanic eruptions of the 18th and 19th centuries are breathtaking, with the vast malpais (literally the bad lands) of lava flows set against a skyline of jagged cones and dormant craters.
This is a really popular trip - the island is an exciting destination for geography students, allowing them to study plate tectonics, volcanoes and the human challenges of living in such an environment.
