Sullivan Bay is located on the eastern side of Santiago and offers an excellent opportunity to explore a relatively young lava field. An eruption in the late nineteenth century saw molten magma flow from Santiago’s volcano towards Bartolome, engulfing all life that it passed, and leaving behind fascinating imprints of tree trunks that were vaporised and ‘hornitos’ formed as bubbles of gas explored from the lava.

The rare pahoehoe lava, with its wrinkled, rope-line form can be found here, as well as two tuff cones. Life is tough in this part of the island, but amongst the barren landscape it is possible to find the pioneering lava cactus and Mollugo carpetweed.
