Caleta del Sebo

Today I walked round the coast to the extinct volcano called Yellow Mountain at the SW point of Isla Graciosa. It was not too high at 800ft and a well trodden path led up to the crater rim. The volcanic pebbles were quite slippery on the steeper sections but I had no trouble and walked to the top wearing flip-flops.
Looking back towards Caleta del Sebo with an inshore reef in the foreground.
The north coast of Lanzarote partially obscured by cloud and mist.
The south face of Yellow Mountain. This is almost vertical.
The crater is incomplete with the NE third missing. A view from the 2-3m wide path around the crater rim looking SW.
Another view of the crater looking NW.
Caleta del Sebo and Lanzarote seen from yellow mountain.
Looking NE towards the other volcanoes with the rim path in the foreground.
Looking down at the popular yacht anchorage near Punta de la Herradura.
The near vertical south face of yellow mountain, shown earlier, seen from above.
Looking east over the crater.
A circular area marked with rocks to the NE of the crater.
Looking SW back up at the crater from the open side.
Typical vegetation on Isla Graciosa.
Wind driven patterns in the sand.
