TOWER(GENOVESA)
This island is a low volcano that rises from the surface of
the ocean. Ships sail directly into its caldera to anchor
at the foot of the steep crater walls. It attracts vast numbers
of pelagic seabirds who come here to nest. Great frigate birds,
red-footed boobies, swallow-tailed gulls and storm petrels
all breed here by the thousands.
