Fuerteventura island comprises the Northern, Central, and Southern Volcanic Complexes, with the Central complex shown in this November 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 42 km across). There was a period of significant erosion and quiescence before scoria cones and smaller lava flows were produced during the Quaternary through to recent times, including the darker lava flows and cones near the center of this image.
