Photogallery of pictures taken during journeys and expeditions to Galapagos National Park (Ecuador) - North Seymour Island.
North Seymour is a small island near to Baltra Island in the Galapagos Islands. The whole island is covered with low, bushy vegetation.
The island is named after an English nobleman, Lord Hugh Seymour. It has an area of 1.9 square kilometres and a maximum altitude of 28 metres. This island is home to a large population of blue-footed boobies and swallow-tailed gulls. It hosts one of the largest populations of frigatebirds Fregata magnificens and a slow growing population of the Galapagos land iguana (Conolophus subcristatus).
North Seymour has a visitor trail approximately 2 kilometres in length crossing the inland of the island and exploring the rocky coast.
North Seymour was created by seismic uplift, rather than being of volcanic origin. The island has a flat profile with cliffs only a few meters from the shoreline, where swallowtail gulls and tropicbirds sit perched in ledges.
