Alejandro Selkirk Island

Alejandro Selkirk Island, previously known as Más Afuera (Farther Out (to Sea)) and renamed after the marooned sailor Alexander Selkirk, is the largest and most westerly island in the Juan Fernández Archipelago of the Valparaíso Region of Chile. It is situated west of Robinson Crusoe Island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean.
== Geography ==


The island measures north–south and east–west, and has an area of . It is densely wooded and very mountainous and is marked by ridges and numerous deep ravines lead to a steep, rugged coast on the east side of the island off which are tremendous depths. The coastal cliffs are up to high. The south, west and north sides of the island have sandy strips of beach which extend offshore in places. The highest peak, Cerro de Los Innocentes, rises to in the southwest part of Alejandro Selkirk Island, where there is also a prominent rock with a hole through it.
Landing is possible near the center of the east shore at Quebrada Sánchez (Sánchez Ravine), and at the foot of Quebrada Las Casas (La Casas Ravine) ), where there is a boat slip and buildings of the former penal colony. Anchorage can be taken about east-northeast of Quebrada Sánchez (), in depths of to . The ravine is recognized by a white patch on a hill near it. Anchorage can also be taken, in depths of to , with sand bottom, off Rada de la Colonia.〔(Sailing Directions Enroute, Vol. 125, West Coast of South America )〕
Dating of rocks on the island show that it is the youngest of the Juan Fernández Islands at an age of 1 – 2 million years old. Due to its young age, the island shows little evidence of erosion. About southwest of the island is the submerged Sefton Reef (), almost reaching sea level, and to northwest, Yosemite Rock (). Podesta Island, once reported to lay farther to the west, is a phantom island.
