The book "Lanzarote - Life on Lava" offers a comprehensive and artistically designed exploration of the unique landscapes as well as the diverse flora and fauna of Lanzarote. Written by biologists Ulrike Strecker and Horst Wilkens from the University of Hamburg, it combines stunning photographs with informative commentary that highlights the adaptations of living beings to the harsh, volcanic environment of the island. The authors share their extensive knowledge, gathered during numerous stays on the island, and present both common and rare animal species, including the hoopoe and various butterflies. Particularly noteworthy are the unique images of the blind and pale wildlife in the Túnel de la Atlántida, one of the largest lava tubes in the world. This book is not only a visual experience but also a valuable source of information for anyone interested in the natural history and topography of Lanzarote.
