Title: GIANT LANDSLIDE ON VOLCANO
Caption: (a) Aerial view of part of the island of Tenerife, the largest island of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Labeled are the collapsed La Caņadas caldera and the Mt. Teide volcano (elevation 3.7 km or 12,100 ft.) The white dashed line outlines the extent of the Orotova landslide, one of many large landslides on the island. The white arrow in both photographs (a) and (b) points to the seaward end of this landslide. (Espagna Instituto Geografico Nacional)
