Bartolome (san Salvador), Galapagos Islands Cruise Port

Bartolome Island received its name after Lt. David Bartholomew of the British Navy. The island is an islet in Sullivan Bay east of Santiago Island. Bartolome is home to a distinctive site known as Pinnacle Rock. Pinnacle Rock is a volcanic cone that was formed when magma erupted from an underwater volcano; the sea cooled the hot lava, but the volcano exploded, and cooled lava created this huge rock. Galapagos Penguins, herons and Galapagos hawks can be easily spotted. Did you know that the Galapagos Penguins were the second smallest penguin species in the world?
