View from the Mirador de las Narices del Teide along the road TF-38 in SE direction. The lava field in the centre dates back to the 1798 eruption of Montaña Chahorra. The escarpment of the cauldron of Las Cañadas, most likely the result of prehistoric mountain collapses, with El Sombrero (2532 m) is shown in the background.
