He also noted a population of sealions.[3] The island is perhaps best known and most noted for its name; which is derived from a controversial historical English figure.[4] Guy Fawkes, the man it is named after was a Roman Catholic revolutionary who had attempted to carry out the Gunpowder Plot in 1605.[5] References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://geology.er.usgs.gov/eespteam/terrainmodeling/images/large/ecuador_srtm_low.pdf|publisher=Geology.er.usgs.gov|title=Topography and Landforms of Ecuador|date=24 October 2007|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080216113919/http://geology.er.usgs.gov/eespteam/terrainmodeling/images/large/ecuador_srtm_low.pdf|archivedate=16 February 2008|df=}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.ramblincameras.com/Isgal8.htm|publisher=RamblinCameras.com|title=Islas Galápagos Underwater Photography Gallery|date=24 October 2007}} 3. ^{{cite book | last = Beebe | first = William | authorlink = William Beebe | title =Galapagos: World's End | publisher =Dover Publications | url =https://www.amazon.com/Galapagos-Worlds-End-William-Beebe/dp/0486256421 | isbn = 978-0-486-25642-9}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.galapagos.to/NOTES-2.HTM|publisher=Galapagos.to|title=Island Names and Their Derivations|date=24 October 2007|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071109002103/http://www.galapagos.to/NOTES-2.HTM|archivedate=9 November 2007|df=}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.thisweek-online.com/2005/September/30bonfire.html|publisher=ThisWeek-Online.com|title=Transplanted Englishman brings countryís Guy Fawkes party tradition to Burnsville|date=24 October 2007}} External links
