Mount Teide (
Spanish:
Pico del Teide, pronounced:
[ˈpiko ðel ˈtei̯ðe], "Teide Peak") is a
volcano on
Tenerife in the
Canary Islands,
Spain. Its 3,718-metre (12,198 ft) summit is the highest point in Spain and the highest point above sea level in the islands of the Atlantic.If measured from the ocean floor, it is at 7,500 m (24,600 ft) the highest volcano in the world base-to-peak outside of the
Hawaiian Islands.
[a][5] Its elevation makes Tenerife the
tenth highest island in the world. It remains
active: its most recent eruption occurred in 1909 from the El Chinyero vent on the northwestern Santiago rift. The United Nations Committee for Disaster Mitigation designated Teide a
Decade Volcano[6] because of its history of destructive eruptions and its proximity to several large towns, of which the closest are
Garachico,
Icod de los Vinos and
Puerto de la Cruz. Teide,
Pico Viejo and Montaña Blanca form the Central Volcanic Complex of Tenerife.
The volcano and its surroundings comprise
Teide National Park, which has an area of 18,900 hectares (47,000 acres) and was named a
World Heritage Site by
UNESCO on June 28, 2007.
[7] Teide is the most visited natural wonder of Spain, the most visited
national park in Spain and Europe and – by 2015 – the eighth most visited in the world,
[8] with some 3 million visitors yearly.
[9] A major international
astronomical observatory is
located on the slopes of the mountain.
