Cueva de Los Verdes


Cueva de Los Verdes
Inserito originariamente da anbri22


One of the most beautiful places I have visited in Lanzarote is Cueva de Los Verdes.
I was without tripod so I have tried to do of my best with the D700, but the feeling with the camera wasn't perfect and the fault is mine. Inside the tube was absolutely dark and it was difficult to see the people downthere , in fact I believed there was anyone.
The camera worke with Iso auto (It's a shame I know) and the shot is 3200 iso.
Cueva de los Verdes is a lava tube located in the island of Lanzarote. The cave is a protected area of the Canary Islands. The cave was created around 3,000 years ago from a volcanic eruption in La Corona. An enormous lava stream flowed over the Malpaís de la Corona. For a long time, the lava stream flowed which left the top part to become a cave.
In about 20 spots, the cover of the cave collapsed and formed. Cueva de los Verdes is formed from parts of the volcanic soils and extends from 1 km to 6 kilometres of old lava streams. The streams are the second longest in the world.
The cave walls are colorful. Parts of the cave are deep. Parts of the caves are covered with sea water.
The cave is famous for its concert hall which can hold up to about 500 people.
