Ghost Forest of Tree Heath (Erica arborea) at Pico do Arieiro
Captured near the summit of Pico do Arieiro in Madeira's central massif, this image features the bleached skeletal remains of Tree Heath (Erica arborea), creating a stark 'ghost forest' likely resulting from past wildfires. The high-altitude vantage point overlooks deep volcanic valleys and a dramatic cloud inversion layer sitting above the Atlantic Ocean.
