A pair of sheer volcanic tuff towers off San Cristóbal, known as León Dormido or Kicker Rock, one of the most photographed sites in the islands. There is no landing, but a channel between the towers is a strong snorkeling and dive site for Galápagos and hammerhead sharks, spotted eagle rays, and sea turtles. Boobies and frigatebirds nest on the cliffs.
