<sod>Fernandina Island (formerly known in English as Narborough Island, after [[John Narborough]]) is the third largest, and youngest, island of the [[Galápagos Islands]]. Like the others, the island was formed by the Galápagos hotspot. The island is an active shield volcano that has been erupting since April 11, 2009.<ref name="ReferenceA">[http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090412/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/lt_ecuador_galapagos_volcano]{{dead link|date=April 2016}}</ref>  The southern flank of the volcano [[La Cumbre (Galápagos Islands)|La Cumbre]] had a fissure eruption that generated flows, which subsided within hours. Isla Fernandina supports wildlife that could be threatened by the April 2009 burst of volcanic activity, according to rangers at Galapagos National Park. However, no human settlements were endangered, as the island has no human residents. Park rangers and a passing tourist boat initially observed the volcano at 10:00&nbsp;p.m. local time on April 10, 2009. A sparse human population in the western reaches of the Galapagos Islands means that volcanic activity is not always observed or reported as soon as it starts. The seismic station at [[Puerto Ayora]], on the nearby island of [[Santa Cruz Island (Galápagos)|Santa Cruz]], recorded no [[earthquakes]] associated with this [[eruption]].<eod>
