situated on the island of tenerife, teide national park features the teide-pico viejo stratovolcano that, at 3,718 m, is the highest peak on spanish soil. rising 7,500 m above the ocean floor, it is regarded as the world’s third-tallest volcanic structure and stands in a spectacular environment. the visual impact of the site is all the greater due to atmospheric conditions that create constantly changing textures and tones in the landscape and a ‘sea of clouds’ that forms a visually impressive backdrop to the mountain. teide is of global importance in providing evidence of the geological processes that underpin the evolution of oceanic islands. |
