Fernandina Island

The island is far away, I visited last year. No supermarket or grocery, and cold weather , you have to bring supplies with you before going. Trips walk and go to La Camper volcano. there’s many Weird animals and reptiles, for the first time I see them for someone from the Middle East

Fernandina is the youngest and least populated by wildlife of the Galapagos but it is still a great place to visit. Volcanic scenery but tons of sea lions, birds and fish. We had some decent snorkeling and a panga trip here.

On that very island giants turtles of the Galapagos (Chelonoidis phantasticus) were found after more than 100 years without being seen.

Fernandina Island is a remote, rocky, rugged island in the Galapagos with spectacular views of the Pacific – and plenty of strange wildlife. The Galapagos Islands consist of 19 different islands, situated 600 miles from the coast of Ecuador. They are known for their abundance of wildlife, which has evolved on its own in a natural habitat that is highly protected from development. As you explore this beautiful remote island you’ll have a chance to see many interesting creatures including pelicans, sally lightfoot crabs, blue-footed boobies, sea lions and flightless cormorants. Keep your camera ready. Fernandina Island is often referred to as a “land without time” as it is a volcanic island without any introduced species. The island is 300 thousand years old (which is pretty young for an island!) and it is still active. It is located on the west side of the Galapagos archipelago, right on top of the hotspot. The landscape and flora here are so strange, you might feel like you are on another planet.

Short easy trail with abundant wildlife. Sea turtles, massive colony of matinee iguanas. Many playful sea lions. Galapagos Hawks. Also scenes from Master and Commander.

Few people go to this place ever. This place can be reached only by boat. The majority who visit this island will do so via a Galapagos cruise which goes to the Western Islands. Fernandina is the most active of the Galapagos volcanoes. It is the third largest island of the Galápagos Islands and happens to be the furthest west. It was formed by underwater volcanic activity and the island is an active shield volcano with its most recent eruption in 2009. Except for a single visitor site on the northeast edge of the island, the island is maintained in its pristine state. Fernandina has a large land iguana population, which nests both on the rim of the caldera and in its depths.

Wow! Awesome formations.

Beautiful place.. magical
