Tunnel de la Atlantida
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tunnel de la Atlantida (English: Tunnel of Atlantis) is the world's longest known volcanic submarine lava tube located in the Canary Islands off the coast of North Africa. The 5,000-foot (1,500 meter) long tube formed some 20,000 years ago when the Monte Corona volcano erupted on the island of Lanzarote. The erupted molten rock flowed across the land and into the ocean. [1]
