siahala
Siahala, also known as Siahala Island, is a small, uninhabited island located in the Gulf of California, off the coast of the Mexican state of Baja California. The island is part of the Revillagigedo Archipelago, a group of volcanic islands known for their unique biodiversity and geological features. Siahala is characterized by its steep cliffs, rugged terrain, and diverse flora and fauna. The island is home to several endemic species, including the Revillagigedo sparrow and the Revillagigedo rock iguana. Siahala is also known for its historical significance, as it was once a stopover point for whalers and other seafarers. The island's remote location and challenging terrain make it a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. However, due to its remote location and lack of infrastructure, Siahala is not accessible to the general public and can only be reached by boat or plane. The island is protected as part of the Revillagigedo National Park, which was established in 1995 to preserve the natural and cultural heritage of the archipelago. The park covers an area of over 100,000 hectares and includes several other islands, including Clarion, Socorro, and Roca Partida. The park is managed by the Mexican government and is open to visitors for research and educational purposes only.
