Fernandina and Isabela Islands have the most active volcanoes in this archipelago and we expect to have volcanic active in the area from time to time. One can see the evidence of fresh lava flows. Islands of dry vegetation are evidence of old colonization. The last eruption took place just a few months ago, in 2023.
We finished our day crossing the equatorial line aboard National Geographic Endeavour II and had a great view of the equatorial volcano collapse.
