The last eruptions on Lanzarote took place in 1824, following a preparatory period of 10 years during which numerous earthquakes of medium intensity took place. This eruption commenced close to Hilario's Isle, “Volcán Nuevo del Fuego o Chinero” and spread along an eruption fissure parallel to that of Timanfaya. Its lava streaming out above the layers of those of the eighteenth century. The principal characteristic of this eruption was the immense fluidity of its lavas, and in particular the jets of boiling hot salty water which were projected from the craters for several days in the form of enormous geysers reaching heights of 30 metres.

Several cavities known as devil's chasms remain in one of the craters through which scientists have descended to a depth of several hundred metres. At which point the opening becomes too narrow and the heat too intense to continue any further.
