Cerro de Los Inocentes
Cerro de Los Inocentes (meaning "Hill of the Innocents" in Spanish) is the highest mountain in the Juan Fernández Islands, Valparaíso Region, Chile.[1] It is a nesting ground for the Stejneger's petrel.[3]
Geography
This 1,268 m (4,160 ft) high peak rises above the western shore of Alejandro Selkirk Island, the largest and the westernmost island of the Juan Fernández Archipelago.[1] The mountain is smooth at the top with a cliff dropping steeply to the waters of the Pacific Ocean off its southwestern face.[1]
Some sources give higher elevations ranging from about 1,400 m (4,600 ft) to more than 1,600 m (5,200 ft).[4][5]
