Revillagigedo Islands, Volcanic archipelago in Pacific Ocean, Mexico
The Revillagigedo Islands consist of four main islands: Socorro, San Benedicto, Roca Partida, and Clarión, spanning 157 square kilometers in total area.
The Mexican state of Colima received control of these islands in 1861 with initial plans to establish a penal colony on the remote territory.
Scientists conduct regular research expeditions to study the numerous endemic species of birds, plants, and marine life inhabiting these isolated islands.
Reaching the islands requires a boat journey of 26 to 30 hours from mainland Mexico, with access limited to authorized vessels and scientific expeditions.
The marine protected area surrounding the islands covers 150,000 square kilometers, making it one of Mexico's largest marine conservation zones.
