The island of Lanzarote (Lanzarote) refers to the Canary Islands
(Spain). It is also called an "island volcanoes" - on a small island
is about 60 wide and 15 km are about three hundred volcanoes. In
autumn 1730 together with thirty craters began to erupt lava and ash.
The eruption lasted for six years, and as a result of one-third of the
island was covered with basalt
and lifeless ash. This is a very negative impact on agriculture,
Lanzarote, but did not stop the local growers, which in the end,
successfully adapted to grow grapes right in a volcanic desert.
The main part of the vineyards
of Lanzarote is situated in the valley of La Geria, which is
significant for its covered by a thick layer of ash. Grape seedlings
are planted in specially dug pits or trenches up to several meters
wide. This is done first to make it easier to get to the roots to the
topsoil, and secondly, to ensure the grapes with moisture. There are
virtually no rainfall, irrigation is also not practical, the plants are
fed with dew, which condenses on the walls of "funnels". Saturated
soil with ash, in turn, tends to hold a long moisture.
Grape pits, usually surrounded by a special wall of basalt, for protection from searing winds.
In spite of such harsh conditions, this yield is up to 40 kg of grapes from the vines.
After
10 thousand years our descendants will wonder what it is like we are
now wondering about the appointment of the figures on the Nazca
Plateau, and other ancient structures.
