(Script error: No such module "Lang".)Template:Mdashand two rocks located northwest of Santa Cruz Island in the Galápagos Archipelago in Ecuador.[1] The group is uninhabited but sometimes visited by scuba divers.[2]

William Beebe visited the islands and makes mention of them in his book Galapagos: World's End. He described the cliffsTemplate:Mdashmade of stratified layers of volcanic tuffTemplate:Mdashas majestic and also noted a population of sea lions.Template:Sfnp

The island is perhaps best known for its name, honoring the English Catholic revolutionary Guy Fawkes, who attempted to blow up Parliament in 1605.[3][4]
