Help about some rocks on Canary islands
So, my friend has been to canary islands a week ago and she took a photo of this peculiar formation.
 I tried google but apart from: rocks on canary islands, I don't even know where to start. And there are a lot of rocks on those islands |

Is it a caldera? A collapsed volcano.
 Doesn't satisfactorily explain the big chunks missing though. Might help if your friend could say where, roughly, on the island it is.

Is your friend sure it's a rock? It looks more like a big pile of dirt with several cuts created by erosion.
Also can we get a more specific location? I'd like to check it out in Google Earth.

Even just the island would give us a clue.

Well I wouldn't say "just" a dirt mound. Those are some really striking erosion cuts which I don't see on any of the surrounding terrain. I wonder what caused such a local and radical event like that? Could they be man made?

Some of the cuts almost look man-made?
