Fernandina, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

The youngest island in the Galapagos chain is approximately 700,000 years old. The landscape of Fernandina changes often, as the island is one of the most volcanically active, and eruptions occur every few years. The island offers rare opportunities such as walking on recent lava flows from the La Cumbre volcano and seeing the endemic flightless cormorant up close.
