Santiago Island, also known as San Salvador or James Island, is one of the Galápagos Islands belonging to Ecuador, located centrally in the archipelago about 25 km northwest of Santa Cruz. Formed by two overlapping shield volcanoes with the highest point at 907 meters on its northwest side, it spans 585 square kilometers, features dramatic eroded black lava coasts, tuff cones, and young flows dating back 750,000 years, and remains uninhabited today.
