Fernandina Island
Fernandina Island (formerly known in English as Narborough Island, after John Narborough) is the third largest, and youngest, island of the Galápagos Islands. Like the others, the island was formed by the Galápagos hotspot. The island is an active shield volcano that has been erupting since April 11, 2009.〔http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090412/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/lt_ecuador_galapagos_volcano〕 It is the westernmost of the islands in the archipelago, and was named in honor of King Ferdinand of Spain, who sponsored the voyage of Christopher Columbus.
==Geography==
Fernandina has an area of 642 km2 (247.9 miles2) and a height of 1,476 meters (4,842 feet), with a summit caldera about wide. The caldera underwent a collapse in 1968, when parts of the caldera floor dropped 350 meters.〔http://www.galapagosonline.com/Islands/islands/Fernandina/Fernandina.html〕 A small lake has intermittently occupied the northern caldera floor, most recently in 1988. Two types of lava flow can be observed, ʻaʻā and pāhoehoe.
