  1. Biodiversity

  2. Biodiversityislife, biodiversityisourlife • The Atlantic archipelagos of the Canaries, Azores, and Madeira have a volcanic origin and they have never been part of a continent. The Laurisilva of Madeira is a place of importance for its biological diversity. A large proportion of its plants and animals are unique to the laurel forest, with significant differences to other laurel forest areas.

  3. Shearwater In late summer and autumn, most birds migrate into the Atlantic as far north as the south-western coasts of Great Britain and Ireland. They return to the Mediterranean in February. The biggest colony is located in Savage Islands, Madeira. These birds are most common in temperate and cold waters.

  5. TheWellofSnow 1600 m Some things in life nowadays seems trivial, but in the past they were unthinkable, … for example ice. With the arrival of refrigerators and other similar devices in our modern times, it has become possible for us to have ice all year-round. Now … imagine yourself on Madeira Island 100 years ago …. how could you get any ice? It was only possible during the winter and in the highest regions of the island, when it snowed.
