KEN FISHER, Library President and leader of the popular Tenerife History Group has produced a series of articles on some of the extraordinary 19th century figures who set out to explore Tenerife and, in some cases, to scale the heights of Mount Teide when the island’s upper reaches were still wild and untamed.

They were variously scientists, explorers, botanists or just plain and simple adventurers, though they all shared the same passion and thirst for unlocking the mysteries of the world around them.

Under normal circumstances, the Tenerife History Group meets on Thursdays mornings between 11am and 12.30pm.
