The wiki page backs up some if the comp text eg:

Apart from the fauna, which includes incredible species such as the marine iguana (the only lizards that can swim), the blue-footed boobie and the flightless cormorant. This is also the northernmost place where penguins can breed


The famous Flightless Cormorant inhabits this island as well as penguins, pelicans and sea lions. Two types of lava flowcan be observed, ʻaʻā and pāhoehoe. Mangrove forests also abound on the island.

I might be wrong though as I have just spotted:


. That's because this island, the fourth largest of the 20 in the archipelago, is uninhabited

Fernandina Island (formerly known in English as Narborough Island, after John Narborough) is the third largest, and youngest, island of the Gal!pagos Islands

Any idea which is the third: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gal%C3%A1pagos_Islands#Main_islands

Any ideas which one of the islands or should we just go with:

Galapagos Islands

http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/earth/galapagosislands.html

Pretty sure that they want the exact island but I am struggling to tie it down atm(fourth largest) plus do the Saturday nights tasks.

Any ideas.

Think it's Santiago, officially called San Salvador. Sorry, can't do links, but I just googled fourth largest Galapagos island and found that answer on rough guides.

I've been looking for information for the past hour and would have to agree it's Fernandina Island
