This could then generate a giant wave, known as a "<a href="/wiki/Megatsunami" title="Megatsunami">megatsunami</a>" around 650–900 m (2,130–2,950 ft) high. The wave could radiate out across the Atlantic and inundate much of the eastern seaboard of North America, and many of the islands in the <a href="/wiki/Caribbean" title="Caribbean">Caribbean</a> and northern coasts of South America between six and eight hours later. They estimate that such a tsunami could have waves possibly 50 m (164 ft) or higher causing massive devastation along the coastlines. Modelling suggests that the tsunami could inundate up to 25 km (16 mi) inland.<sup id="cite_ref-Day_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Day-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Ward_20-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ward-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The claim was also explored in a BBC docu-drama called <i><a href="/wiki/End_Day" title="End Day">End Day</a></i> which went through several hypothetical scenarios of disastrous proportions. However, nowhere in their papers do the authors make any claim about the imminent collapse of the flank. Rather, they state that they have modelled the worst-case scenario. </p><p>In 2002 the Tsunami Society published a statement stating "... We would like to halt the scaremongering from these unfounded reports..." The major points raised in this report include: </p> <ul><li>The claim that half of Cumbre Vieja dropped 4 m (13 ft) during the 1949 eruption is erroneous, and contradicted by physical evidence.</li> <li>No evidence was sought or shown that there is a fault line dividing the island of La Palma.</li> <li>Physical evidence shows a 4 km (2 mi) long line in the rock, but the models assumed a 25 km (16 mi) line, for which no physical evidence was given.

The authors concluded that waves could reach heights in the range 10 to 188 meters in the Canary Islands, but that the waves would dissipate as they radiated out into the Atlantic Ocean. They predict 40 meters height for some nearby island systems. For continents, the worst effects would be expected in Northern Brazil (13.6 m), French Guiana (12.7 m), mid-US (9.6 m), Western Sahara (largest prediction at 37 meters) and Mauritania (9.7 m).

The origin of these natives is unclear but they are believed to share common ancestry with the <a href="/wiki/Berber_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Berber people">Berbers</a> of North Africa. The Guanches had a Neolithic culture divided into several clans led by chiefs. Their name for La Palma was <a href="/wiki/Benahoare" title="Benahoare">Benahoare</a>. The main remnants of this culture are their cave dwellings, enigmatic <a href="/wiki/Petroglyph" title="Petroglyph">petroglyphs</a> and paved stone paths through the mountains.

In 1404 the Spaniards began the conquest of the islands. Though the first landing on La Palma was in 1405, it took until 1493 and several bloody battles until the last resistance of the natives was broken. The conqueror of La Palma was <a href="/wiki/Alonso_Fern%C3%A1ndez_de_Lugo" title="Alonso Fernández de Lugo">Alonso Fernández de Lugo</a>, who defeated <a href="/wiki/Tanausu" title="Tanausu">Tanausu</a>, the last king on the island.

The festival features the dancing of "enanos" or midgets. The costumes that people wear have a hole at the top of the hat to allow them to see out, while giving the appearance of dancing midgets. People come from all over the world for the celebration which happens every five years. The image of the Virgin is taken down from her sanctuary (located in a hilly area on the outskirts of <a href="/wiki/Santa_Cruz_de_La_Palma" title="Santa Cruz de La Palma">Santa Cruz de La Palma</a>) and paraded around the city of Santa Cruz with the festival lasting nearly two weeks before she is returned.

All the main roads are asphalted and in a good state, although there are many sharp bends, some very narrow. In order to reach some small hamlets in the north of the island it is necessary to travel on unpaved roads. A good paved road approximately 180 km (112 mi), circumscribes the island. Several bus routes exist that unite the main settlements on the island. </p><p>A road crosses the island from <a href="/wiki/Tazacorte" title="Tazacorte">Tazacorte</a> on the west coast to <a href="/wiki/Santa_Cruz_de_La_Palma" title="Santa Cruz de La Palma">the capital city</a> on the east coast of the island. This road is a two-lane highway that includes a pair of two-lane tunnels. The older tunnel is shorter (1,100 m (3,609 ft)) and higher than the newer tunnel (2,880 m (9,449 ft)). When traveling from one side of the mountain to the other it is common to enter one side in complete clouds (the east side) and come out to the sunny side (western side). This is due to the clouds not being able to cross the mountains, an effect caused by the counter trade wind. </p><p><a href="/wiki/La_Palma_Airport" title="La Palma Airport">La Palma Airport</a> is served mainly by <a href="/wiki/Binter_Canarias" title="Binter Canarias">Binter Canarias</a> and <a href="/wiki/CanaryFly" class="mw-redirect" title="CanaryFly">CanaryFly</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Iberia_(airline)" title="Iberia (airline)">Iberia</a>, with flights to and from <a href="/wiki/Tenerife" title="Tenerife">Tenerife</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gran_Canaria" title="Gran Canaria">Gran Canaria</a>, and also to and from mainland Spain, Germany, United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and the Netherlands. </p><p>There is also ferry service between the city of Santa Cruz de La Palma and the islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Water_tunnels">Water tunnels</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=La_Palma&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Water tunnels"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <i>minas galerias</i> (water tunnels) carry water from sources in the highlands to towns, villages and farms.

The water condenses on the vegetation, from where it runs into the ground.
