Spring landscape of Tenerife high altitude areas, on the slopes of the spectacular Teide volcano, the Canary Islands, some 400 km off the coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. The morning light, moments before sunrise, illuminates the landscape while the Earth shadow (the blue-purple band) sinks to the horizon behind the volcano. Mt Teide reaches over 3700m above the ocean, making this the highest point in the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the highest peak in Spain.
