Bartolomé Island in Ecuador is one of the most picturesque and well-known islands in the Galápagos archipelago. It is renowned for its distinctive Pinnacle Rock, a striking volcanic formation that rises sharply from the shoreline. The island's landscape features a mix of volcanic formations, including lava flows and spatter cones, giving it a rugged, otherworldly appearance. Visitors to Bartolomé Island can enjoy stunning panoramic views from its summit, accessible by a wooden boardwalk and stairs. The island is also a haven for wildlife, including Galápagos penguins, sea lions, and a variety of seabirds.
