Galapagos Islands: Lava flows appear as dark stringy patches leading down the flanks of volcanoes which comprise the large, seahorse-shaped island of Isabela. Other flows appear on the flanks of Fernandina Island, the smaller round island to the left, which is made up of a single large volcanic cone. The Galapagos Islands lie above a hot spot underneath the oceanic plate that has been active at least for tens of millions of years.
