Help about some rocks on Canary islands

Betonov · 09-11-12, 09:08 AM

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.

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.
