Spectacular view of Roque Cinchado, the iconic volcanic rock formation known as God Finger, with the majestic Mount Teide volcano in the background. This lunar landscape in Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most photographed symbols of the Canary Islands. The basalt rock, sculpted by erosion over millennia, stands solitary in the desert landscape of Las Canadas del Teide at over 2000 meters altitude. Teide, at 3718 meters, is Spain highest peak and the third tallest volcano in the world from its base.
