Name
The name "L yellow" (El Hierro) is spelled like Spanish for the word "iron", but really has nothing to do with it. 'H' of the metal name comes from ferrum of the Latin. 'H' of the name of the island comes from orthography of Spanish in the Middle Ages. I was to touch h of the mute letter in those days in front of ie of the prefix when the distinction of the letter of I and J had not been yet done and interpreted i as a semivowel not [ʒ] of the consonant.
However, being spelling same as a word to mean iron in Spanish by other languages when named it, influenced it. With a map and the book of the early 16th century, this island is called by the name of the word to mean "iron". For example, it is Insula Ferri in l'île de Fer[1], the Latin in Ferro, French in the Portuguese.
I do not understand the origin of ero which is the original name or erro or yerro. It is thought that it will be a word of the Guanche that the Gouin Che group who is inhabitants before the conquest () by Spain spoke.
When it is a meaning of "strong" ('strong'), in book "history (Historia de la conquista de las siete islas de Gran Canaria) of discovery and the conquest of the Canary Islands" (George glass translates it in 1764 and publishes it) of Juan de Abreu Galindo, I do the name of the island in a local word in Esero (or Eseró). [2] However, a word of the Guanche hero meaning "a water tank, a reservoir" by an explanatory note of his translation of Le Canarien or herro writes down the Richard major () in hierro by folk etymology easily when I noticed that it can be. [3] It is thought that the Gouin Che group built the reservoir to accumulate rainwater. In Gran diccionario guanche[4], hero of the Guanche says that it is a meaning of "fuente" (spring) in Spanish.
History
The indigenous people called the Gouin Che group was put under the control of French explorer Jean de ベタンクール, but it depended on negotiations not a military campaign. ベタンクール was as an alliance, a negotiator in Augeron which was brothers of the present head of a household of the L yellow island. Augeron was caught several years ago by a European and was brought as an arbitrator between a European and Gouin Che groups. ベタンクール promised to respect the freedom of islanders in exchange for the rule for the island, but he broke a promise after all and sold a much Gouin Che group as a slave. Many French and Galicians emigrated to the island afterwards. There was the revolt by the indigenous people for severe measures by Governor of island Lázaro Vizcaíno, but they were suppressed.
Geography
In 2000, the land of 60% of L yellow Island was appointed in the biosphere sanctuary of the UNESCO to protect nature and variety of the culture. [5]
Like other islands of the Canary Islands, an L yellow island is an island of the sharp mountain and volcano. As for the eruption of the recorded volcano, Volcan de Lomo Negro erupts only once in 1793. The eruption lasted one month.
An L yellow island is an island of area 278.5km2. I am formed to approximately 1,200,000 years ago [6] by three consecutive eruption and appear in the form that volcanic cone more than 2,000 meters in height covers the dyke of the triangular basalt on the sea. [7]
Approximately 70 caves were formed by the continuous activity of many numerical volcanoes (volcano sedimentation more than conic hills more than 500 and 300) in the Canary Islands. There is Cueva de Don Justo with length more than 6km in total in that. [7]By a landslide, height and the size of the island become small. [7] The summit level of the island is 1,501m in マルパソ in the center of the island.
Sightseeing and traffic
Like the island of other Canary Islands, the L yellow Island becomes the sightseeing spot. L yellow airport () and Ferry terminal are maintained, and both can access it from the テネリフェ island.
Administrative organization
The L yellow Island belongs to the Santa cross デ テネリフェ prefecture. Shimauchi has three following ムニシピオ (the basic local government).
As for Baru Velde, there are the north east bank of the island, the Freon terra in the northwest bank, and there is L ピナール in the southern coast. Baru Velde has the government office (cabildo insular) of the island, and about half of the population of the island lives.
"Island of the meridian"
The L yellow Island is known as the island where the common first meridian was set in history (except British Empire in the back) in Europe. In the second century, I already examine that Ptolemy sets the first meridian (longitude zero degree) based on a west edge of "the world known in those days", and only an equilateral value describes longitude of (from the first meridian only in the east) on a map. France which Louis XIII and prime minister Richelieu governed in 1634 decided that I assumed the fellow meridian via the fellow Island (L yellow island) the standard meridian of the map. This is because fellow Island was regarded as a west edge of the Old World. The Azores archipelago was to the west than fellow Island, but it was about 1427 that a European discovered Azores archipelago, and there was not the recognition called a part of the Old World. The correct position of the fellow Island was not considered to assume it 20 degrees of the Paris meridian via Paris.
On the Western old map, fellow longitude was written based on figure width Paris longitude on the figure width (I moved Paris longitude to the 20 degrees west) (except the U.K. United States).
