 | | Teide Volcano is located on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, off the coast of Morocco in the eastern Atlantic. |
 | | With a height of 12,199 ft., Teide is the third-highest volcano on Earth, after Mauna Kea (13,796 ft.) and Mauna Loa (13,680 ft.) on the island of Hawaii. |
 | | It is considered a potentially threatening volcano, however, due to its proximity to the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, shown in this image as the purple and white area on the lower-right edge of the island. |
