Interesting places in it

1. Galápagos Islands
The Galápagos Islands (official name: Archipiélago de Colón; other Spanish names: Islas de Colón or Islas Galápagos) are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed around the equator in the Pacific Ocean, 972 km west of continental Ecuador. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site: wildlife is its most notable feature.

2. Darwin's Arch
Darwin's Arch was a natural rock arch feature to the southeast of Darwin Island in the Pacific Ocean. The arch sat on an irregularly shaped, rocky, submerged plateau, nicknamed " the theatre"

3. Darwin Island
Darwin Island (Spanish: Isla Darwin) is named in honor of Charles Darwin, and is among the smallest in the Galapagos Archipelago with an area of just one square kilometer. With no dry landing sites, Darwin Island's main attractions are found in the Pacific Ocean, which is teeming with a spectacular variety of marine life. Darwin Island and Wolf Island sometimes are referred to as Darwin and Wolf or Darwin Wolf.

4. Alcedo Volcano
Alcedo Volcano is one of the six coalescing shield volcanoes that make up Isabela Island in the Galapagos. The remote location of the volcano has meant that even the most recent eruption in 1993 was not recorded until two years later. It is also the only volcano in the Galapagos to have erupted rhyolite and basaltic lava.

5. Fernandina Island
Fernandina Island (formerly known in English as Narbrough Island, after John Narbrough) is the third largest, and youngest, island of the Galápagos Islands. Like the others, the island was formed by the Galápagos hotspot. The island is an active shield volcano that has been erupting since April 11, 2009.

6. Volcán Wolf
Volcán Wolf is the highest peak in the Galapagos Islands and is situated on Isabela Island and reaches 1, 707 m (5, 600 ft) and is the highest point in the Galapagos Islands. It is a shield volcano with a characteristic upturned soup bowl shape.

7. Volcán Ecuador
Volcán Ecuador is the smallest of six shield volcanoes comprising Isabela Island of the Galápagos with an elevation of 790  m (2, 590& #160; ft). It contains a caldera that is breached to the west by edifice collapse. The caldera floor is largely covered by youthful lava flows and contains several chains of spatter cones and small scoria cones.
