Kicker Rock (Roca León Dormido)

Kicker Rock (Roca León Dormido)
Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, Ecuador (EC)
Kicker Rock (Spanish name: "Léon Dormido") represents the remains of a lava cone, now split in two off the northwest coast of Isla San Cristóbal (Chatham Island), which is the easternmost of the Galápagos archipelago, governed by Ecuador, in South America. In 1959, Ecuador declared 97% of the land area of the Galápagos Islands to be Galápagos National Park, which UNESCO registered as a World Heritage Site in 1978. Ecuador created the Galápagos Marine Reserve in 1998, which UNESCO appended in 2001.
