Hi fellows, i put the sentence time ago about the dispute of the canary hotspot, but until recent times i couldn't find in english the citation that we need, here it is:

http://www.aepect.org/hemeroteca/Canarias01-ing.pdf

You can see all the theories around the origin of Canary Islands and like is showed there with the hotspot theory there are several more, and those based on the classic hotspot are few with many proposing variants of this theory. Is nearly impossible to close the classical hypothesis with the nature of the Canary Islands that is the reason why there are so many opinions about this question.

regards

Great to see that my deletion of the sentence sparked some action. ;) I'll reword the article to reflect that there still may be some doubt on the hotspot hypothesis. --Regebro (talk) 17:14, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
