San Benedicto : ウィキペディア英語版 | San Benedicto Island
San Benedicto, formerly Isla de los Inocentes, is an uninhabited island, and third largest island of the Revillagigedo Islands, located in the Pacific ocean. It is 4.8 km by 2.4 km in size, with an area 10 km². It is of volcanic origin. It has two prominent peaks. The tallest peak, Bárcena, rises to a height of 332 metres (1,089 feet)〔 near the southern part of the island. It forms a typical volcanic crater. It is located between the remains of two older craters, Herrera in the middle of the island and the Montículo Cinerítico〔 ("Ash Heap") in the southwest. There is no permanent source of freshwater.〔 ==History== The first recorded sighting of San Benedicto was by the Spanish expedition of Hernando de Grijalva on 28 December 1533 that charted it as ''Isla de los Inocentes'' due to this day being the festivity of the Holy Innocents. In November 1542, it was sighted again by the expedition of Ruy López de Villalobos that incorrectly identified it with the ''Santo Tomás'' of Grijalva (present day Socorro Island).
