Name edit

The name of the island comes from Isabella II,[1] Queen of Spain from 1833 to 1868.

Geography edit

Displaying a rounded shape,[2] it has a total area of 0.153 square kilometres (0.059 sq mi).[3] Substantially flatter than the Isla del Congreso, it reaches a maximum height of 35 metres above sea level.[2]

History edit

 
The church and other buildings as depicted in La Ilustración Española y Americana in 1893.

Archeological remains found in the island suggest the existence of an outpost intended for sheltering ships by the 1st century BC, a time when the North-African coastline thrived during the reign of Juba II.[4]

Along the other two islands of the archipelago (Isla del Rey and Isla del Congreso), it was occupied in 1848 by Spain,[5] that alleged terra nullius,[6] anticipating French intentions to do the same from Algeria.[7] General Francisco Serrano took possession of the islands bringing two ships from Málaga.[8]

The works of conditioning of the island of Isabel II suffered a major setback after the passing of a strong storm in March 1849.[9] Then the question arose of whether the stay in the archipelago was worth it or not.[10]

Between 1910 and 1915 the island was connected through a dike with the Isla del Rey.[11]

Electric lighting was installed on the island in 1922.[12]

Population edit

The island is the only inhabited island of the archipelago. It currently hosts a military garrison with personnel from the Ministry of Environment of Spain, as the islands are a National Reserve protected because of the wealth of their natural species.
