Ometepe Island
NICARAGUA
The Island of Ometepe was formed by two volcanoes rising from Lake Nicaragua in the Republic of Nicaragua. The volcanoes, Concepcion and Maderas, are joined by a low isthmus to form a single island, giving it the form of an hourglass. Ometepe has an area of 276 km². It is 31 km long and 5 to 10 km wide.
