An uninhabited island where Darwin camped for two weeks in 1835, now recovered from centuries of introduced goats and pigs. At Puerto Egas, walkable black lava shelves conceal grottos where fur seals rest, while Sullivan Bay preserves a vast field of ropy pahoehoe lava from an 1897 eruption.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
