At a bearing of 28º latitude North and 16º longitude West a group of 7 islands and numerous islets rise up out of the sea. With its warm climate and unusual landscapes, this archipelago has from time immemorial captivated those who reached its coasts. Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, El Hierro, La Gomera y La Palma.
The Canary Islands were never a part of any sunken continent. Their origin is quite different and much less romantic.
About 30 million years ago, in what is known as the Miocene period, a crack appeared in the African platform. The magma found a way to escape from inside the Earth and a group of volcanoes appeared on the Ocean bed. Over the next 28 million years, the expulsion of material occurred almost continuously and so by the time the Earth entered the Quaternary Era all of the islands, except for Hierro and the islets, had risen above the surface.
Volcanic activity also effected plant life on the islands. The continuous supply of new materials delayed the erosion process and so impeded the creation of soil where trees and bushes could grow.
Here, in the foothills of the highest volcano in the archipelago, Teide, the plants have taken another step in the adaptation process. Not only do they live in very poor soil, but they can also withstand differences in daytime and night time temperatures of up to 50º centigrade.
As the islands rose up from the depths reefs were created and a new eco-system appeared in the ocean. The marine flora found new ground on which to settle and the fauna found countless nooks and crannies where it could set up home and be safe from predators. The layer nearest the surface, and therefore also nearest the sun, was the most populated.
Hundreds of thousands of tourists visit the islands every year. Many come in search of the sun. Others however are fascinated by its landscapes and by the volcanic activity still present on some of the islands.
The water vaporisation and plant-burning shows on the islet of Hilario in the Timanfaya national Park, are just some of the multiple tourist attractions created in recent years.
The same forces that created this natural paradise could bury it again under tonnes of lava. This may seem a catastrophe for Man, but for nature, it would be just another step in the construction of the archipelago, a project which has been under construction for over 30 million years and is still far from finished. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I find it fascinating that Spain is the 2nd most mountainous country in Europe behind Switzerland, yet its highest altitude point is on an island in the Atlantic ocean.
@Abi Brown Azores is a part of Portugal. Tenerife is the highest point in Spain.
Wow Spain is so beautiful 😻 love from Somalia 🇸🇴
That ain’t really Spain. That really belongs to Africa
Hello from Tenerife. OK as far as it goes, but you would need hours to really understand these islands. Indeed raw and beautiful. Canarian species are very different. The culture is rich and a mixture of African, South American, Guanche and Spanish. I love it here.
I was fortunate to visit the Canary Islands. Beautiful place and people. Stayed on Gran Granaria!
Canaria not granaría
I visited lanzerote beautiful
Wow Spain is so beautiful 😻 love from Somalia 🇸🇴
Right now in Tenerife
Saludos desde Las Palmas de Gran Canaria y gracias por compartir este vídeo 🇮🇨
ISLAS CANARIAS SALUDÓS DESDE PUERTO RICO
Very nice place thanks for sharing your beautiful knowledge
This is the beautiful world, such a nice and an informative documentary.
BOOK OF GENESIS .BIBLE .
I wish I could have visit on such beautiful island.Water is really crystal clear
Very watchable! Great job to all involved in making it.
So beautiful 😊. So gorgeous and wondrous is nature 💙. Thanks for sharing.
I will recommend this to my friends and students
Beautiful! Makes you want to live there forever. Great doc. Thanks!
Spectacular
Fascinating! I was not aware of the history of the Canaries. Thank you for sharing it.
Hi britt good evening from Asia Philippines
@@tejaysalva6456 Where in the Philippines? Once upon a time, about 50 years ago, I visited Clark Air Base a couple of times. Went to Jungle Survival School.
Davao City Mindanao area hey do u have facebook and instagram? How are u
@@phantom20071 do u have family and kids?
@@tejaysalva6456 Yes
lovely place!
visited and worked but was not aware of so much history ..awesome
I just adore Lanzarote......my second home, and hopefully one day i can retire there, to live out the rest of my life
Same here, goodness knows when I will be allowed to go to my house!
I already do that, but in Maspalomas Gran Canaria, i can really recommend it !
I love it Costa teguise
Wow Spain is so beautiful 😻 love from Somalia 🇸🇴
Thanks to those people help keeping those islands clean and less inhabited.
I appreciate how the people feed the lizards.
I do like the advanced communicative style those people use whistle to commute.
I do like the observatory on la Palma! Very pristine in view worth. Let’s keep it that way.
How did those camels get there?
Thank you for such a balanced video?
Camels came from Africa, I believe out ancestors bringed them here because it was easier and cheaper than bring horses from somewhere else far away
I wish i want to travel to canary islands. Thanks for sharing
What a beautiful report of my home. Thank You.
Have you always lived there or did you move there?
I live there, in GC, you have everything, from mountain to beach.
In lanzarote?
And then U have much chance too to have the Loro Parque, there, no!!??? 😂😅😅
@@cedricbernat No we don't, Loro Park is only in Tenerife island, is a thematic zoo park that I recommend you to visit, indeed.
Thank you for this beautiful video........loved the narrator's voice.🎇
Great documentary! We enjoyed it. Subscribed :)
very nice place
Did 23 and me and found I was 80% from specifically the Canary Islands . My family is from Uruguay it’s an interesting history
Very good video & very knowledgeable 💕💕💕🙏🏿✋🏿🙍🏿♀️
Thankyou for letting me go on this trip with you. This is how I travel on my (PC) .I always wonted to travel the world , with people like you ,its possible next time I would like to bring a friend if there is enough room for one more? I enjoyed it very much :-)) I need to go back to Florida USA and cook dinner wish you could come for dinner. Donna.
See u soon in canary islands
❤️🩹
The music is very annoying.
It drowns out the narrator.
And it is a poor match for the video.
I don't think I can even watch the entire video!
I'm debating whether to go on at this very moment, same reason!
lol
even the narrator's speech pattern is difficult to understand. hmmm
@@kjpcgaming9296 thanks for a great laugh, I needed one this morning!
Its an old video. Cant you tell. If you were expecting Stormzy to appear and get down with the fauna reel rap style, keep it reel stuff, tuff. It was still interesting to watch. I always like James Mason narrating.
wish i could turn off the muc=sic to hear the comentator!
Definitely :)
@@marianam376 I can hear him just fine.
Mi ADN dice que mis antecesores son de estas islas. Me fascinaría conocer. Primos Bencomo saludos desde Atlanta GA 🤭
It's a phenomena. Dead brilliant.
19:42 those cameras are now prehistoric
I love canary
Wow! So beautiful... I now see why my mother left the US to live here! ;D
It is a torture living there!!!
@@4133EWvianen why?
Jj Gf It is not, paradise
Superb documentary
I like your beautiful voice
Music drives me away....
There was a people living in the Canary Islands before the Spaniards started colonizing them in the 15th Century.This group was called the Guanches.They were a Caucasian group,and probably related to the Berberbpeople of North Africa,especially since they spoke a Berber dislect.
Some people from the Canary Islands called Islenos(Islanders) settled in SE Louisiana,USA back in 1780,when Louisiana then belonged to Spain.Their settlement came to be called"Saint Bernard Parish",after the then Spanish governor of Louisiana,Senor Bernard O,Reilly.Most of their descendants still live today in that part of SE Louisiana,just SE of New Orleans,and speak a Spanish dialect that's based mostly on 18th Century Canary Island Spanish.
@@derlinclaire1778 Yep. Baton Rouge here. That's my family's history too! My great grandparents spoke only Spanish and french. We had Islanders come looking for what became of their relatives after they came to louisiana. All the old folks got interviewed. I want to go meet those relatives there soon.
Partially true. Guanches did live there, but only on the island of Tenerife. Inhabitants of other islands had their own names (Bimbaches, Benahoaritas, Gomeritas, Majos, etc.).
pure anarchy
Derlin Claire we Canarians are everywhere from Louisiana to as far south as Uruguay South America.

Hello Watching This.
“Numerous izlets”. Very good.
The narrator sounds so like the British actor James Mason but it can't be as he died in '84.
Not far from that....check the dress code and hair cuts of the people, the video recorders....and hence the annoying music. 80s style...:-D
At 15:58, the rock appears to be a map of the Canary Islands. You can see the peninsula of Fuerteventura at the middle center bottom, almost the exact shape thereof, and 5-6 all islands in a row to the right of it. The smaller figures appear to be boats. It`a a map. It may have been made at a time when the sea level was lower?
At 3,718 metres, it is Spain's highest peak. The Carnivals of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas are two one the most famous in Spain and encompass everything from flour battles to glamorous street parades. The waves off the Canary Islands are some of the best in the world for surfing and windsurfing.
These are African Lands. Spanish are white colonizers from Europe.
@@yeshuabinyankee5017 Canarias are Spanish before your country existed
@@TF-km2ls which country ?
@@yeshuabinyankee5017 Any african country. Anyways not many nowadays countries existed in 1496 so I’m probably right
@@TF-km2ls i didnt know spain extended to Africa haha
This portrays my birthplace & home as this almost magical place where time came to a halt and I'm just here watching a youtube video
Go back to Spain. Stop colonizing Africa !
11:00 Dagobah System
If you want party go to Tenerife (south) or the eastward islands. Hiking Is better on the westward islands because they are younger and are less eroded. But for families every island is perfectly fine. Enjoy :)
great job
wunderlich catt hlo
The fast & Furious 6
Pinus canariensis ?
Quercus canariensis?
Phoenix canariensis?
What a shame that they missed out.
I came here after la plama volcano erupt.. so sad 😓
that arm's length lizard is like a small version of comodo dragon.
Be a lot better if the background music was toned down..
Excellent narration. 13:50.
And that is why i left Holland and settle in Gran Canaria !
nature is outstanding there but beside it there is soo borring. even spanish peple that moved to continent confirm that
I was born in Gran Canaria, and have lived here all my life. I moved to the UK around two years ago. Lack of opportunities when it comes to job is atonishing, now, there is nothing boring about the islands, starting with the weather. It’s obviously a matter of taste, of course.
Good luck, I hope you survive the food!!!
@Azulay ⴰⵣⵓⵍⴰⵢ pero que dices mi niño, every one is welcome here
@Azulay ⴰⵣⵓⵍⴰⵢ where are you from? Porqué estamos hablando en inglés? Mi familia lleva aquí en Canarias desde como mínimo la conquista de los españoles,500 años,me vas a decir tu, si puedo o no puedo vivir aqui o si soy nativo,vaaaaaya huevos amigo.
Il clima di Tenerife, da me visitata nel marzo del 1996, mi aveva però deluso: molto variabile, più nuvoloni che sole, pioggia a tratti; e, al mattino, decisamente freddo!
Vaya, qué mala suerte.
“After that God saw everything he had made, and look! it was very good”
La Palma rose above the sea 1.7 million years ago, the uplifting began 142 million years ago.
The downfall has set in yesterday
Sure it did! Grow up.
@@jmdoutdoors5729 whats that supposed to mean
@@christopherpett3264 How do you come up to the conclusion that La Palma rose up 1.7 million years ago?
Please give us descriptions so that non native people can learn all words with spelling.
I wish these documentaries listed the narrator.
I'm from Las Islas Canarias. I was born in Güimar, Tenerife in 1970. My mother is from Tenerife, my father from Lanzarote. My parents left the Islands in 1972 and we migrated to Australia to escape from General Franco. I have been back 4 times. In 1982 age 12 years for 3 months, age 18 in 1988 for one year to finish high school, in 1990 - 1994 age 20-24 for four years to work, again in 1994 as I came to Australia for a month holiday, returned to Tenerife, then at the end of the year flew back to Australia. I would never live there again. Even though I am from there, have lived and worked there and my entire relatives are from there, I don't identify with the locals because I've grown up as an Australian under that lifestyle. I had a boyfriend for the 4 years I lived there and in the end he broke up with me because I was far too "modern" for his taste. Canarian men, like all Latin origin men, like to dominate and control their women. Now, I'm no feminist, I am a traditional woman, have been married for 18 years, have a son that I homeschool. So, I'm old fashioned. But "old fashioned" to an Australian raised woman is different to a Canary Island raised woman. They are completely different. I wasn't willing to be dominated like a personal possession and put up with a rude, sexist male attitude in a man. My husband is Australian and I submit to him, but he doesn't dominate me like a Spanish man would. He earns all the family income, he gives me a small allowance to spend on food for the week, he takes care of the bills, but if I need money for anything I need to ask his permission. My husband is more of a feminist than I could want to be myself. He actually wants me to work full-time and bring money into the home. I'm the more old fashioned, traditional one in our relationship!! But, I simply cannot put up with Spanish attitude to life in general. They are not my "people", just my "ancestry". Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely set of Islands to holiday in, but to live amongst hard-headed, pig-headed & backward attitudes in both men and women is not my kind of idea of a good life. I'll stick to Australia- the "lucky country "!
I do not submit to any man...We are equals....and no, Spanish men do not control women...You got it all wrong...
Bull crap. That's what feminists like you tell themselves to sleep better at night.
He sounds very much like James Mason. Wonder who the commentator is.
I like
the voice of man
Did you come???
i like the dog in Canary island called presa canario my dream dog
When my canary birds are misbehaving im gonna show them this documentary
lose the music please
Where the yellow bird?
its called a Canary
Since a couple of months its 8 Islands since La Graciosa is an official Canary Island.
Fun fact that most images shown at the start until 4.30 are filmed on Lanzarote, in the National park Timanfaya! Lanzarote has one of the most Iconic Vulcanic landscapes til this day.
Hola rens , que tal , i see you on " need to know lanzarote " hope your safe in this crisis & our island will come out of it more beautiful than ever ..
In all of the Canary Islands, you won’t find one Canary...
Same with the Virgin Islands... not one Canary
I'm guessing the latter lacks cherry trees, as well. Canaries are overrated and one canary is enough...after that you want a Stellar sea eagle.
(Thank you for helping me to bring the comment section to the gutter. LOL. Puns are great.)
LOL
It's not true : there is canaries, I have already seen/watched some...
lol
ShaneC27 - But many DOGS
Who the hell are the 160 who disliked this video😨
Here after lapalma update and wanting history ??😭😭😉
The Miocene era began 23 Ma and the oldest island is Fuerteventura (23Ma) though the seamounts are considerably older. So it was over the next 23 million years that all of the islands except La Palma and El Hierro had risen above the surface.
yeh hbibi
l'm a musician and l _LOVE_ the music!!
Love Gran Canaria. So clean. Much prefer las palmas as it seems less commercial than the more popular tourist sites. The beach and mountains are beautiful...and great for shopping. 😍

This narrator sounds a lot like the antagonist in the movie "North by Northwest". Does anyone know?
I think you mean James Mason, the sound of his voice is close but J. Mason died in 1984.
@@latiffariss7940 Wow Latif! Right on! I wonder how their voices can sound so similar, if they are maybe from a similar part of the world and have the same resultant accent. It's stramge, my suddenly remembering North by Northwest. I like that movie! He was very good in it and real tension when the protag's friend, then enemy, then friend flip flop and how she was doomed and the protag... I think Cary Grant, forgot his character name, had to alert her and only minutes before it was going to be too late! I also really liked the close the protag had running through that cornfield, wow! I loved using Mount Rushmore too as a metaphor and important part of a screenplay I wrote.
You can tell this documentary is old when the narrator says Centigrades instead of Celsius
I was just North of them,.. Less than 🤔919 miles, or🌫️🍃 1, 479 kilometers 🌫️ 🌋⛰️🌌🌌🌌🌫️🌫️🌫️🌫️I'm sorry I nvr made it there, I meant to go back..... 🙄❣️💛💛💛💥

2018?
Yeah
i would want to see you try and do it better lol
tamazirt sg limazighen
We have too many tourists nowadays
this doc was made in 90'
I've been to every island except Lanzarote
Did you like the islands? It is said that the spaniards ethnically cleansed the original inhabitants in 15th century.
@@dhavalp5285 I did like the islands .. and that explains the paella
What is your favorite Canary Island? I'll go for La Palma!
lanza
Lanzarote
Exactly , love all the islands but lanza has that magical .. something , maybe im a little biased tho as I call it home ..
La Palma ;-) Drinking coffee and eating quesa di cabra at El Time, watching Aridane Valley.....
Gran canaria is amazing. From the little venice of Mogan to the African like dunes of maspalomas. It really is like a mini continent in it's own right.
0:04 is not appropriate
Stop being a pussy
Another good vid ruined with music turned it off after 4 minutes
Jack Sparrow + Prince Charles + Richard E.Grant =
More like a lesson in Botany ...
They are not all the Canary Islands, only a few.
Nature is so powerful because the God who Created the earth is so powerful.

A nice video for tourists and such. My personal Favorite Island is Gran Canaria but I don't go there for nature, I go to party lol
The best party in the islands (and Spain imo) is Tenerife's Carnival tho, second in the world only after Rio's
@@pablo8286 el carnaval de Tenerife en la calle es mejor que el de las palmas,pero la cabalgata de Maspalomas es la mayor locura de fiesta que hay.
Really, where exactly,as a gran canarian It's quite interesting listening tourist about our island
