Description

This work presents a detailed volcano-geological map of the Northern region of Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain). This map is a synthesis of gathered and interpreted field data and geological maps. We have integrated information obtained from: (a) detailed geological field surveys, (b) high-resolution digital elevation models (DTMs), (c) aerial orthophotographs, (d) morphometric analysis of eruptive deposits and volcanic structure (i.e. lava tubes), and (e) integrated with data from previous publications (IGME – Instituto Geológico y Minero de España). This map provides a detailed view of the volcanic diversity of the region and an overview of the lava tube system of La Corona, both of which may be used as references for future research work.
