One Galapagos Fire Contained, Another Erupts
April 1, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador - The roughly 90 hectare wildfire that struck the Cerro Verde highlands on the island of Isabela was reportedly contained over the weekend.
Unfortunately, another fire has broken out on the island of San Cristobal. The roughly four hectare fire is said to have been accidentally started by people burning trash, but high temperatures and drought conditions have helped the fire to spread. No details on injuries or environmental damages were provided.
