| Wolf and Darwin Islands, sometimes called Wenman and Culpepper, are two eroded
volcanos located on a volcanic ridge (the Wolf-Darwin Lineament). Wolf reaches a maximum elevation of only 250 m and Darwin only 165 m above sea level. The islands, though, are only tips of massive volcanos that reach over 1000 m above the sea floor. Both volcanos are now extinct, ranging in ages from 400,000 to 1, 600,000 years old. |
