North Seymour is a small island near Baltra Island in the Galapagos Island. It was formed by the uplift of a submarine lava formation. The whole island is covered with low, bushy vegetation.
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. A tiny forest of silver-grey Palo Santo trees stands just above the landing, usually without leaves, waiting for the rain to bring them into bloom. Enjoy the best snorkel in Mosquera.
