Volcanic eruptions in Tenerife
There has been 5 volcanic eruptions in Tenerife. The first was in 1492 in Boca Cangrejo Volcano and was seen by Christopher Columbus. The next occurred in 1704, when synchronously erupted the volcanoes of Arafo, Fasnia and Seven Springs(Siete Fuentes).
Two years later, in 1706, was the biggest eruption with a greater magnitude, the Trevejo volcan. This threw large amounts of lava that buried the city and port of Garachico, at that time the most important city of the island. The last volcanic episode of the eighteenth century occurred in 1798 in the Cañadas de Teide, specifically in Chahorra. Finally, in 1909 volcanic activity started at the Chinyero Volcan, in the municipality of Santiago del Teide. Subsequently to that date and until now there have been no further eruptions on the island. Moreover, despite the volcanic nature of Tenerife, the five eruptive episodes that happened on the island never caused any fatality.
