The canary islands are all sitting on the top of an underwater volcano that has been dormant for hundreds of years. I also know that most of the individual islands have there own volcano's and on tenerife it is due to erupt soon as it does every 100 years. So the islands are on the top of a volcano with a volcano on top of most of them.
