Description
El Dedo de Dios (translated: God's finger) was a famous rock structure in the Atlantic Ocean, located in the northern part of Gran Canaria, Las Palmas (Spain). During Tropical Storm Delta on November 28, 2005 (just 3 years ago), the thin top of the rocky monument was broken off and fell into the sea, destroying its unique characteristic that had the shape of a finger (thereby the name God's finger).
Dedo de Dios in September 2005.
It was one of the many natural monuments of the Canary Islands located outside the coastal town of Agaete, at the north of Gran Canaria. The peculiarly formed mountain has been an inspiration to many artists, and it is believed that the author Domingo Doreste was the first to name it God's finger.
The area is considered the oldest on Gran Canaria, and started to form around 14 million years ago. During a time span of 2-300,000 years, the oddly shaped monument was created from the basaltic materials in the area.
