La Palma by Ethan


Volcanos 

We have been in a volcano crater, it was very scary because one side of you there was a 2486 ft drop or a huge  500 ft  drop into a crater.
 
We have collected pieces of lava.

 
The first volcano we looked at was one that erupted  in 1677.
 
There was a small pathway with two sudden drops .It  was very scary. At first i didn’t want to go up there , but then I got brave and held daddy’s hand . we pretended to push daddy in the crater but mummy didn’t think it was very funny! 
 

There were now trees growing at the bottom of the crater.

The second one we went to had the youngest rock I had ever touched. The volcano last erupted in 1971.  You would think lava would just come out the crater but there are two small craters  in the side. These volcanos are in  la palma.
 

 That is where we are now. There are a few pictures of us inside one of the 1971 craters. We picked up and held a rock. It was not as heavy as it looked, because air gets trapped in it when it gets burst out as lava and when it cools it becomes a rock.   One of the volcanos on la palma has the  widest crater or caldera in the world . We have not been to that one  yet but I think we are going to go to it. We have only been to 3 volcanic islands so far, that is madeira 250 miles away. That is where we were last and porto santo 280 miles away.  That is where we were before we went to madeira. The place before porto santo was  oerios  it was 507 miles away from porto santo. We have met some other english friends they are in furtuventura   they are doing the arc aswell.
 
 
 
SWIMMING POOLS
 
   We went to some swimming pools. These were outdoor pools. There were realy big waves . There are some pictures of us there. 
 
 
 
 
This is a picture of us when there is a big wave coming. I am trying to punch it and Oli is scared and saying theres a big wave.
