Guadalupe Island or Isla Guadalupe is a volcanic island located off the west coast of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula and some southwest of the city of Ensenada in Baja California state, in the Pacific Ocean. The two other Mexican island groups in the Pacific Ocean that are not on the continental shelf are Revillagigedo Islands and Rocas Alijos. ==Administration and population== The 2010 census recorded a population of 213 people on the island.〔 Guadalupe is part of Ensenada ''delegación'', one of the 24 ''delegaciones'' or subdivisions of Ensenada Municipality of the Mexican state of Baja California. Ensenada ''delegación'' and Chapultepec ''delegación'' together form the city of Ensenada, the municipal seat of the namesake municipality. The postal code of Guadalupe Island is 22997. ''Campo Oeste'' ("West Camp", also called ''Campo Tepeyac'', with 15 buildings) is a small community of abalone and lobster fishermen, located on the western coast, specifically on the north side of West Anchorage, a bay that provides protection from the strong winds and swells that whip the islands during winter. Generators provide electricity, and a military vessel brings 30,000 liters of fresh water. The number of fishermen varies annually depending on the fishing season. Ten months of the year the 30 families of the fishing cooperative "''Abuloneros'' and ''Langosteros'' of Guadalupe Island" are present.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Isla Guadalupe )〕 Additional temporary fishing camps are ''Campo Norte'' ("North Camp", four buildings), ''Campo Lima'' (''Campo Corrals'') (one building) and ''Arroyitos'' (four buildings). 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Instituto Nacional de Ecología )〕 An abandoned fishing community, ''Campo Este'' ("East Camp"), is located near a cove on the eastern shore. At the southern tip, on Melpómene Cove, there is a weather station staffed by a detachment from the Mexican Ministry of the Navy. The site is called ''Campamento Sur'' ("South Encampment"). ''Campo Bosque'' was established as a temporary camp in 1999 in the cypress forest in the north. The camp houses members of the Cooperative Farming Society "Francisco Javier Maytorena, S.C. of R.L." and removes goats from the island and sells them in the State of Sonora, with permission of Secretariat of the Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) and the support of the Secretariat of the Navy. ''Campo Pista'' is located at the small airport, near the center of the island (, elevation:592 m, direction:05/23).() Airport ''Isla Guadalupe'' (ICAO Code ''MMGD'') has a runway. At the end of the runway near threshold 5 is the wreckage of a Lockheed Model 18 Lodestar,〔(Avioneta Isla Guadalupe ). panoramio.com 〕 which overshot the runway during landing. A former North American B-25J-30/32 Mitchell, BMM-3501 (c/n 44-86712), bomber wrecked on the opposite end of the runway, after suffering serious damage in trying to take-off overloaded (). This B-25 wreckage was removed from the island in late 2005 or early 2006. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guadalupe Island」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
