Blown Apart Landscape, Timanfaya, Lanzarote

Driving through the Timanfaya National Park on Lanzarote, the signs of volcanic activity are abundant and striking. Here a whole mountain has blown apart leaving just jagged ridges above the numerous craters. It has an alien other-worldly feel in this place and it’s no wonder they tested lunar landing robots here. The forces of nature here are so striking and it’s hard to imagine the sounds that must have been caused by such huge explosions.
