Description
The islands were named by the Spanish navigator Diego Ramírez de Arellano, who piloted the Garcia de Nodal expedition through the region in 1619.[1] The islands consist of nine stacks, within two groups. They extend Script error: No such module "convert". on a northwest–southeast axis. The land area measures about Script error: No such module "convert".. More than 50% of this comprises the large single southern stack, which is Script error: No such module "convert". long and between Script error: No such module "convert". wide. The islands are steep and rocky, and covered in tussac grass.[2]
Important Bird Area
The islands have been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area because they hold large breeding populations of both southern rockhopper penguins (86,000 breeding pairs) and black-browed albatrosses (47,000 breeding pairs). There are also smaller numbers of grey-headed albatrosses. Magellanic penguins, imperial shags and sooty shearwaters present.[3]
