Santa Barbara Island is a small island of the Channel Islands archipelago in Southern California. It is protected within Channel Islands National Park, and its marine ecosystem is part of the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. ==Geography== The island is located about from the Palos Verdes Peninsula coast of Los Angeles County, Southern California, (near Ventura County and west of Greater Los Angeles.〔http://www.nps.gov/chis/planyourvisit/santa-barbara-island.htm〕). With a total area of about 1 square mile (640 acres or 2.6 km2) it is the smallest of the eight Channel Islands. It is the southern-most island in the Channel Islands National Park. The highest peak on the island is Signal Hill, at 634 feet (193 m). Although closer to mainland Ventura County and Los Angeles County, the island is part of Santa Barbara County (United States Census Bureau Block 3012, Block Group 3, Census Tract 29.10). It is the only one of the four southern Channel Islands included in the Channel Islands National Park, which also encompasses all four northern islands. According to the 2000 census the island is uninhabited and has a total land area of 1.0136 square miles (2.625 km2).〔(Block 3012, Block Group 3, Census Tract 29.10, Santa Barbara County ) United States Census Bureau〕 Like most of the Channel Islands, it can be seen from the mainland on exceptionally clear days (usually in winter). 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「Santa Barbara Island」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
