The island is about 16 km long and 6 km wide, and has a maximum elevation of 384 m. The island is formed by a stratovolcano, which has been erupting intermittently since at least the 18th century. The most recent eruption was in 2019.

The island is home to a variety of plant and animal life, including several species of birds that are found nowhere else in the world. The island is also a popular destination for tourists, who come to see the volcano and the unique wildlife.
