The paper discusses issues related to the petrology of picrobasaltic melts forming lava flows on Lanzarote, Canary Islands. During ascientific and educational expedition on the aforementioned island, lava flows of picro basalt of the third phase of the 1731–1732 eruption were studied and tested. Preference was given to the well-preserved streams in the west and south of the island thatare accessible for direct study. Volcanogenic-sedimentary associations were identified in the studied outcropsand described, the structural and textural features of the flows were characterized, and samples with mantle rock xenoliths were taken for petrological reconstructions. New geochemical data onrocks and minerals are presented. It was established that the temperature of the initial melt was 1100–1180°C. Large harzburgitephenocrysts in picro basalt are xenocrysts formed as a result of melting and disintegration of mantle xenoliths.
