located in the eastern pacific ocean, this archipelago is made up of four remote islands and their surrounding waters: san benedicto, socorro, roca partida and clarión. this archipelago is part of a submerged mountain range, with the four islands representing the peaks of volcanoes emerging above sea level. the islands provide critical habitat for a range of wildlife and are of particular importance for seabirds. the surrounding waters have a remarkable abundance of large pelagic species, such as manta rays, whales, dolphins and sharks. |
