Tajogaite or Tajogaite Volcano is a monogenetic volcano located in the municipality of El Paso on the island of La Palma, Canary Islands. Although its official name is "Tajogaite", before its officialization some authors have called it Cumbre Vieja, Jedey or Cabeza de Vaca, among other names. It originated in the eruption that began on September 19, 2021, the most recent on the island and in the national terrestrial geography. It stopped on December 13, 2021, after 85 days of activity, being the longest historical eruption recorded on the island and third in the archipelago.[4][5]
