TENERIFE DECEMBER 2007 - JANUARY 2008

Know under the name of « Fortunate Islands » probably since the Antiquity, Canary Islands loom up above the Atlantic waves, dominated by the Teide peak which snowy top reaches 3,715 metres at its highest point often among the clouds. These volcanic islands with rugged relief and changing colours enjoy a soft climate all year round, and can pass from the worst rain to the most beautiful sun in a few minutes! The largest island, Tenerife, had stood out around the Teide volcano. From sea level to the top, varied landscapes mark the vegetation’s steps. Canary Pine forest occupies large area around the bare crown of the volcano. Each part shelters definite birds’ species, providing them a suitable habitat.
