About this site
Ilhéu da Urzelina lies just off the south coast of São Jorge island in the Azores, near the village of Urzelina, itself named for the small islet marking the shoreline. The site sits within the volcanic archipelago's mid-Atlantic waters, where the coastline is shaped by lava flows from historic eruptions on the island.
