LANZAROTE, is one of the CANARY ISLANDS in the Atlantic Ocean. Very dry and hardly
any rain year around. 120,000 habitants, living mostly from tourism. Lancelotto, a Genovese navigator arrived to the island in 1312.

From 1730 to 1736, the south of the island, was struck by one of the most important eruptions in the history of Vulcanology. The cultivated fields were transformed into one of the most extensive lava fields; more than twenty villages and hamlets were buried by the rage of the craters.
In the year 1824, the last volcanic eruption of these characteristics took place in LANZAROTE. Reaching the sea.
