| Galapagos Islands: Equatorial E. Pacific. Seahorse-shaped Isabella and more rounded Fernandina are volcanic islands generated by a mantle hotspot offshore from Ecuador. The hotspot rises at the junction of the Cocos oceanic plate on the north and the Nazca plate on the south and east. Volcanic craters on Isabella are aligned along a north-trending fault of the plate boundary system. |
