Montaña Corona is a volcano on the Canary Island of Lanzarote, near the village of Yé in the municipality of Haría. Its eruption around 3000 years ago covered a large area of the northeast of the island with lava, creating the Malpais de la Corona and two of the island's most-visited geological attractions, the Cueva de los Verdes and the Jameos del Agua.
