On September 1, 1730, after a series of intense earthquakes, one of the largest and most spectacular eruptions in Earth's history began: the Timanfaya explosion. After six years of continuous activity, approximately a third of the island of Lanzarote was transformed by molten rock, ash, lapilli, and craters that covered most of its ancient villages. The story of César Manrique, great artist and activist, told through some images of his island.
