Revillagigedo High Sea

The open Pacific west of the Revillagigedo group surrounds the remote island of Clarión. Its volcanic land rises above deep water far from the Mexican mainland, and seabirds use the island and its surrounding sea. In 1779 José Camacho recorded Clarión and Roca Partida; the archipelago later received the name of Revillagigedo, after a viceroy of New Spain.
