At sunrise the triangular shadow of the Pico De Teide extends 124 miles across the Atlantic Ocean and thus form the world's longest shadow. (Source)
According to Julie Burchill's article on the island (and its Carnaval) in the Guardian, Mount Teide, "casts the world's biggest sea shadow."
Fascinating, awe inspiring and very definitely impressive!
