El Dedo de Dios

El Dedo de Dios was a famous rock structure in the Atlantic Ocean, located in the northern part of Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands. During Tropical Storm Delta in November 2005, the thin top of the rocky monument was broken off and fell into the sea, destroying its unique characteristic that had the shape of a finger (hence the name "God's finger"). It was one of the many natural monuments of the Canary Islands located outside the coastal town of Agaete, at the north of Gran Canaria.
