El Teide is a gigantic volcanic mountain that has an altitude of 3,718 meters above sea level and an extension of 3,606 hectares. This conical volcano is located on the island of Tenerife, which belongs to the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands of the Kingdom of Spain. It is the highest mountain in the country although it is located outside the Iberian Peninsula, in the Atlantic Ocean.
Today, the Teide is part of a national park that bears its own name. In 2007 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. El Teide is considered the most visited National Park in Europe and therefore a very attractive place for tourists. The visitors of the Teide admire it for its natural beauty, its great size and the strength that hides in its entrails. Although its last eruption was on November 18, 1909 the volcano is considered active and it is recommended to take the corresponding forecasts.
According to the scientists, the Teide is a volcano of the Vesuvian type whose eruptions are characterized by a strong pressure of gases that produce violent explosions capable of throwing through the air solid fragments of rocks, alternated with volcanic lava and also form clouds of ash. Vesuvius (Italy), Teide (Spain), Fujiyama (Japan) and Popocatépetl (Mexico) share these same characteristics.
