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.
http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...34728127_n.jpg 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. :hmmm:
Doesn't satisfactorily explain the big chunks missing though. Might help if your friend could say where, roughly, on the island it is. |
Search canary islands geology
:up: |
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. |
Already asked her, still waiting for the answer.
Knowing women in my parts she probibly didn't knew when she was there :/\\!! |

Even just the island would give us a clue. :) |

August was right, just a dirtmound with some interesting erosion. :hmmm:

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?

Strip mining? |
Some of the cuts almost look man-made?:hmm2:
