The Geology of the Canary Islands provides a concise overview of the geology and volcanology of the Canary Islands, along with 27 carefully planned day excursions comprising trips on all of the islands. Each stop includes a description of how to approach a site, and where to park with GPS locations provided. The book covers all the spectacular features of the islands, including active ocean island volcanoes whose origins are linked to a hot spot or plume causing anomalously hot mantle material to intrude the African plate; submarine volcanic sequences uplifted inside the islands; sub- aerial shield volcanoes; and the remains of giant lateral collapses.  Through its clearly written and richly color-illustrated introduction and field guide The Geology of the Canary Islands is an essential reading for geologists who visit the Canary Islands, one of the largest and most fascinating active volcanic systems in Europe.
