Köppen climate type:
Tinguatón scoria cone in the Geoparque of Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain), formed during the last magmatic activity recorded on the island. Historical evidence reports a late hydrothermal activity with the formation of geysers, whose past presence can also be traced in the occurring mineralogical species.
