據(jù)美聯(lián)社報(bào)道，上周三，護(hù)林工和導(dǎo)游發(fā)現(xiàn)巖漿從伊莎貝拉島上的“Cerro Azul”火山的東北側(cè)流了下來(lái)。上周四至周日，該火山也噴發(fā)了。
What we saw during the flight was a rather big fissure, approximately 437 yards long, that was spewing magma approximately 66 yards into the air.

Cerro Azul, one of five active volcanos on the island, last eruputed in September 1998, causing minor damage to plant life. The volcano is located on the unpopulated southwestern corner of the island. The Galapagos Islands are known for unique plant and animal life, and it's part of the inspiration for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
“Cerro Azul”火山是該島上的五大活火山之一，上一次噴發(fā)時(shí)間是1998年9月，對(duì)植被造成了不太嚴(yán)重的破壞。該火山坐落在該島西南角的無(wú)人區(qū)。加拉帕戈斯群島以獨(dú)特的動(dòng)植物物種而聞名，它是查爾斯?達(dá)爾文的《進(jìn)化論》靈感來(lái)源的一部分。
