Islota Pelón (upper left), just off the NW coast of Isla Isabel, is the outer rim of a mostly submerged cone whose SE rim (center) is located on the tip of the main island. A narrow lava flow seen diagonally from the lower right to the bay is part of the Planicie lava flow and is the product of the youngest eruption on Isla Isabel.
