La Palma (Island)

La Palma, also San Miguel de La Palma, is the most north-westerly island of the Canary Island. Its highest mountain is the Roque de los Muchachos

Due to the location of the island and the height of its mountains, a number of international observatories have been built on the Roque de los Muchachos. The particular geographical position and climate cause clouds to form usually leaving the observatories with a clear sky. Often, the view from the top of the volcano is a sea of clouds covering the eastern part of the island.
