1258 ES - Teide National Park (2007)

Brief Description

"Situated on the island of Tenerife, Teide National Park features the Teide-Pico Viejo stratovolcano that, at 3,718 m, is the highest peak on Spanish soil. Rising 7,500 m above the ocean floor, it is regarded as the world’s third-tallest volcanic structure and stands in a spectacular environment. The visual impact of the site is all the greater due to atmospheric conditions that create constantly changing textures and tones in the landscape and a ‘sea of clouds’ that forms a visually impressive backdrop to the mountain. Teide is of global importance in providing evidence of the geological processes that underpin the evolution of oceanic islands."

泰德国家公园

"泰德国家公园位于特内里费岛，占地18 990公顷，以泰德成层火山为特征。其海拔3718米，是西班牙的最高峰。离大洋洋底7500米，泰德自然公园被认为是世界第三高火山建筑物，周围景色壮 观。由于气候条件使景观的特征和色调不断发生变化，以及云海对山的绝妙衬托，使得该遗址的视觉效果更为震撼。泰德火山公园具有全球重要意义，它见证了海岛 演变的地质过程、并且是已列入《世界遗产名录》的火山遗产（如美国的夏威夷火山公园）的重要补充。"
