Española Island : At the extreme southeast of the archipelago, Española Island is considered as one of the oldest island in the archipelago. Well known for its nesting sites of the waved Albatross with a population of 25,000 to 30,000 - Nearly the entire world population of the adult birds can be found on Española between April to December.
