Volcán Ecuador

The Volcán Ecuador rises on the northern end of Isabela Island, featuring steep cliffs that descend directly into the Pacific Ocean.

This geological formation emerged through multiple volcanic events over thousands of years, contributing to the creation of the Galápagos archipelago.

Scientists and researchers from around the world study this volcano to understand the geological processes that shaped the Galápagos Islands.

Visitors need permits from the Galápagos National Park Service and must travel with certified guides to explore the areas near the volcano.

The volcano's position near the equator makes it one of few geological formations where magnetic forces from both hemispheres interact equally.
