Although you cannot land on Daphne Major, this island can be appreciated much better by circumnavigating around it. This is a central island, situated in the north of the Santa Cruz Island and to the west of the Baltra Airport. This island has a rocky structure and features two craters in the center, which makes its formation a tuff cone. Daphne’s big claim to fame is as location for the Pulitzer Prize winning book: The beak of the Finch. The humble Darwin Finch that lives on Daphne Major has been studied for over 40 years, and played an interesting role in scientific breakthroughs.
