I really don't care what the landscape of the area I live in is like, as long as there is an ocean near by. I don't see this happening on Mars, so that's not for me. lol

Haha, you're spot on! That's a great reason to stay on Earth actually :-)

Hey you're on Mars, I'm on earth :P

We should coordinate better so we meet up some day haha

Ha! I was actually hoping to find you out there, since I heard that extraterrestrial life is totally your mรฉtier :-)) However, let's improve the coordination - I am all in for a meetup! :-)
Are you going to Steemfest btw?

It seriously does look like Mars

Yeah... but fortunately we also have... water! :-)

Very interesting, it looks as if there is no residential area at all. I seriously thought it could be Mars for a few seconds lol.

Is the volcano still active? I heard it can lead to landslides and megatsunamis if it actually erupts at some point.

Nevertheless, I imagine the seafood would be phenomenal.

Greetings from Cape Town :)

Hehe, there are residential areas.. we do have ~150,000 people living on the island, and they don't live in caves :-))

Currently there is only one active volcano called Timanfaya. As I mentioned in the post, the Earth's surface close to the volcano is still very hot. There are theories that say if one of the volcanos on the isle of La Palma (another of the 7 Canary Islands) erupted, it may lead to breaking the island into two pieces, while that may cause a megatsunami starting to move towards Northamerica. We - you and me - wouldn't witness that during our lifetimes anyways.

Just checked out your blog and liked it so much that I decided to follow you :-)
Greetings back from Mars, hehe

Beautifully described Surfermarly!
As a lifelong surfer I have always wanted to visit the Canaries.
I loved your friends surf vid too - wow ... beautiful waves!

upvoted and resteemed :D


Canaries are actually ideal for any type of watersports, so I understand the motion :-)Thanks a lot for your support, @icedrum!!

Looks very interesting! Is there any residential areas and any markets to buy some stuff if need? thanks!

Hahaha, we are ~150,000 residents on the island, and we don't live in caves :-D There are a lot of cities on the island, including a regular infrastructure of residential areas, shops, restaurents, hospitals, etc. Canary Islands belong to Spain (EU), even though we're close to Africa :-)

Beautiful!!! Thanks for the info.. I was thinking of the "burned island" alone. hehe!

Good post

Your adventure spirit is quite unique one. My intuition says you have been to more exotic trips before and alongwith Surfing this is not the only passion you have.

Wow, what a stark landscape...

And those tubes in the vid look awesome, but they look like they're breaking in awfully shallow water and over volcanic reef... The bloody feet were a clue?

Beautifully terrifying...
