Española Island is the oldest of the Galapagos Islands, located on the southeastern end of the archipelago. The islands are of volcanic origin and are formed because of the activity of what geologist call a hot spot.

This means that the islands towards the northwest are the youngest, and the ones on the opposite end are the oldest.
