As a sailor, you will start to familiarize yourself with the geographies and different types of wildlife on each island. One of the islands you might not be that familiar with is Guadalupe Island. Guadalupe Island is a volcanic island that is located 150 miles off the coast of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula. This island is inhabited by a community of abalone and lobster fishermen with a total population of 213 people. The island measures a total of 22 miles stretching north-south and 5.9 miles east-west. 
Guadalupe Island has a rugged landscape because the island itself is composed of 2 overlapping shield volcanoes. Most of the southern part of the island is barren and uninhabitable, but its northern side is filled with fertile valleys and lush trees. This island contains high volcanic mountain ridges which reach up to 4,200 feet. Most of the shore is composed of rocky bluffs alongside detached rocks facing fronting some of them.
This island has 2 different climate zones depending on the elevation you are at; between sea level and 2,625 feet in elevation, this island has an arid and moderately hot climate with temperature averaging between 64 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit. The other climate zone is above 2,600 feet in elevation containing very arid and temperate climate where temperatures average over 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
