In 1815 the great German geologist Christian Leopold von Buch visited the Canary Islands during which he visited the island of Tenerife where he was taken to the Caldera de las Cañadas.
His Versuch einer mineralogischen Beschreibung von Landeck (Breslau, 1797) was translated into French (Paris, 1805), and into English as Attempt at a Mineralogical Description of Landeck (Edinburgh, 1810).
