Intraplate ocean island volcanism - a short visit to Canaries

Part of The Shear Zone Channel. Rob visits the islands of Tenerife and Lanzarote to explore the fabulous volcanic geology and landscapes -including parts of the Teide and Timanfaya national parks. We can use this surface geology to look at the tectonic evolution of the Canarian archipelago - manifestations of a long-lived mantle plume. #geology #earthscience #volcano
