Rábida Island, Volcanic island in Galápagos archipelago, Ecuador
The red-colored volcanic formations of Rábida Island extend across 4.9 square kilometers, reaching heights of 367 meters above sea level.
The island received its initial name from British Admiral John Jervis before being renamed to commemorate the Spanish monastery where Columbus left his son.
Marine researchers frequent this uninhabited island to study its salt water lagoon system and document the native species populations throughout the year.
Visitors reach the island through guided boat tours, beginning their exploration with a beach landing near the northeastern volcanic formations.
The sand and rock formations contain high concentrations of iron oxide, creating deep red colors across the entire landscape.
