These islands were the staging point for the voyage of discovery of Columbus. They are also home to some of the most exotic and endangered species of animals in the world.Gran Canaria is one of the largest islands of the chain that makes up the Canary Islands.
Home to the impressive, and typically conical, volcano of Telde, the Canary Islands is also home to many species of plants and animals that are not found anywhere else on the Ibeiran Peninsula.
