A boy throws a fish caught by a Great Frigatebird at Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, on Isla San Cristóbal (Chatham Island), the easternmost island in the Galápagos archipelago, and one of the oldest geologically. Its Spanish (and most commonly used) name "San Cristóbal" comes from the Patron Saint of seafarers, "St. Christopher." The Great Frigatebird (Fregata minor) is in the family Fregatidae, related to pelicans.
