More than 50 volcanic eruptions have been recorded there since the beginning of the 19th century (in 2022 there was an eruption of the Wolf volcano, located in the northern part of Isabel Island).
The islands also have other traces of volcanic activity, such as fumaroles, lava tunnels, sulfur fields and pumice. A special feature of the Galapagos volcanoes are thousands of parasitic cones. There are about 2,000 of them on the slopes of the twenty largest peaks, and lava flows from many of them.
