The Teide Journal
Mount Teide has been a sacred peak, a scientific laboratory, a sulphur mine and a film set. These are the articles that go past the practicalities — how the volcano was built, what erupted and when, who climbed it first, and what manages to live at 3,000 metres.

Pico Viejo is Tenerife's second summit at 3,135 m with an 800 m crater far wider than Teide's own. Its overlooked trail gives a quieter high-altitude…
The red tajinaste (Echium wildpretii) is Teide's most dramatic endemic plant, a monocarpic tower of crimson flowers that blooms once before dying. This…
Europe's leading solar observatory sits at 2,390 m on Tenerife's caldera rim. Here's what its telescopes study and why the site was chosen.
A short geological feature about the accretionary lava balls known as Los Huevos del Teide on Montaña Blanca.
Mount Teide stands 3,715 m above the Atlantic, the highest point in Spain. But stand on the summit and you are standing on roughly 7,500 m of volcanic…
A geological explanation of why Mount Teide's summit cone is built of phonolite rather than basalt, and what that means for the mountain's shape and…
A practical guide to reading lava flows in Teide National Park — distinguishing ʻaʻā from pāhoehoe, estimating relative age from surface weathering, and…
Stand on the rim of Pico Viejo at 3,135 m and you look across the Cañadas caldera floor at Teide, rising higher. Stand on Teide’s summit and you look down…
What Teide's summit fumaroles are, what the sulphur smell means, and why the warm ground at 3,715 m matters for volcano monitoring.
