Is there a volcano named after a country? You might be surprised to learn that here in the Galápagos Islands, there is! The volcano we are looking at right now is called Volcán Ecuador. It last erupted in the year 1150 and reaches a height of 790 meters. The name “Ecuador” itself comes from the equator, which runs through this incredible archipelago. The Galápagos Islands are a province of Ecuador, a country known for its diverse landscapes, from the Amazon rainforest to the Andes Mountains. Volcán Ecuador stands as a testament to the volcanic forces that shaped these islands millions of years ago.
