Pinnacle Rock (Galápagos)

[1][2] It is beside Sulivan Bay, part of a channel that separates Bartolomé from nearby Santiago Island.

The rock is part of a now largely eroded volcanic dike that once connected the two islands.

Several endemic species of lichen in the genus Ramalina have been found on Pinnacle Rock.

[3] Travel writers describe the rock as one of the most spectacular views in the Islands.

[1][4][5][6][7] A colony of penguins makes its home at the foot of the rock.
