This Park surrounds the National Park of Timanfaya. Most of the surface is fields of lava corresponding to the eruptions of 1730 - 36 and to the eruption of 1824. A1though there are al so cones belonging to previous series, called islands.
Caldera Blanca is one of the most characteristic cones in this Park. It belongs to the series III. It is of clear colour and one of those "islands" distributed by the Park. The bottom of the caldera is about 149 m. on the sea level and the more elevated point is on 458 m. That is to say, it has 309 m depth. The circular base has a diameter of nearly 2 km.
To the east Pico Partido I and II appear; two twin peaks of 518 and 502 m. high. We can say for sure that the first eruptions of the period of 1730-36 were located in this sector. These volcanoes were destroyed by later explosions and the remains are spread in big blocks in the hillsides.
In the few documents of the eruption of 1730-36 make an appointment repeated times a submarine volcanic activity next to the coast. Only Montaña del Golfo represents hydro-volcanism characteristic. At the moment only a part is located from the old structure submitted to strong erosion. For what it is difficult to reconstruct its original form. This seems to correspond closely to several emission centres. The lagoon of the Clicos is inside the crater, with intense green colour due to the concentration of a marine alga. This volcano, together with the Tiguatón from the eruption of 1824, is the only examples of explosive volcanism on this island.
Big columns of water, of 30 m. high, were observed during the final phase of the eruption of the volcano Nuevo de Tinguatón since they softened and they enlarged the structure. The most characteristic of this structure is that in the interior a series of circular openings are located, with more than 100 m. depth and aligned according to a fracture. The expelled water in the last phase can be the reason why the conduits have been totally free.
Some tunnels from the 1730-36 eruption reached the west coast where several tuff appear today cut, with a same separation as their diameter.
The predominant vegetation is the lichens, with more than a hundred of present species. Some wild geraniums, corazoncillos (lotus lanzarotesi) or endemic bejeques of Lanzarote can be seen in these areas. Vineyards and some dispersed fig are located in the areas where the man has intervened.
The few invertebrate existent are forced to feed from the floating plactom to survive, such it is the case of the two endemic scarabs.
The bird fauna is the same one as in other parks.
