The Canary Islands are volcanic and Lanzarotte is pretty much nothing but lava and ash.  We visited the ‘Fire Mountain’ and were somewhat surprised to see just how close to the surface the lava is.  This is at the top of a mountain and therefore well above sea level.......

 

Roughly ten feet down the lava is molten....

The ground is hot to touch and when a bucket of water is poured down a pipe....

You stand well back because this happens.
