Volcán Wolf, Shield volcano at northern end of Isabela Island, Galápagos Islands, Ecuador.

The caldera of Wolf volcano extends 6 kilometers wide and 7 kilometers long, with steep walls descending 700 meters into its depths.

The first documented eruption occurred in August 1797, initiating a pattern of regular volcanic activity that continues through modern times.

Scientists and researchers gather at Wolf Volcano to study its geological formations and monitor the rare pink land iguanas inhabiting its slopes.

The Instituto Geofísico provides daily updates on volcanic activity, enabling visitors to make informed decisions about accessing permitted areas.

Wolf Volcano sits directly on the equator line, making it the only volcano in the world where visitors can stand in both hemispheres simultaneously.
