Timanfaya National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional de Timanfaya) is a Spanish national park in the southwestern part of the island of Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands.
The area is 51.07 square kilometres (19.72 sq mi),[1] and the parkland is entirely made up of volcanic soil.
Timanfaya National Park represents a sign of recent and historical volcanism in the Macaronesian Region.
The volcanic activity continues as the surface temperature in the core ranges from 100 to 600 °C (212 to 1,112 °F) at the depth of 13 metres (43 ft), which is demonstrated by pouring water into the ground, resulting in a geyser of steam which is an attraction for tourists.
Access to the park by the public is strictly regulated to protect the delicate flora and fauna.
