Floreana, also known as Charles or Santa Maria, is the southeastern most island in the Galapagos. It is one of the smaller of the major islands, measuring approximately 12 by 15 km and rising to an elevation of 640m. We anchored at Punta Cormorant, a small protected bay not far off the shore of Floreana. Punta Cormorant is not named after the bird but rather a US ship. Punta Cormorant has two beaches.
