In the center of Galapagos, the islands are uplifted by tectonic action. The evidence is found in many areas, such as bleached coral heads outside the water. Now, land creatures rest there. These two islands also are inhabited by one species each of land iguana. Both also have species of endemic prickly pear cactus, which the land iguanas use for water and food.
