Arrecife Arrival - Chasing our own shadow during our approach to RW03 at Lanzarote (ACE/GCRR), Canary Islands. A volcanic island with an almost otherworldly appearance featuring pitch black lava fields and a barren landscape dotted with over 200 volcanic cones. The island's largest city and capital is Arrecife, meaning reef, and is located 3 miles northeast of the airport.
