Isla del Tigre is a small, 5-km-wide island located across a narrow 2-km-wide strait S of Isla Zacate Grande in the Gulf of Fonseca. The conical basaltic stratovolcano is the southernmost volcano of Honduras. It is less dissected than neighboring Zacate Grande on the mainland to the N, and is of probable Holocene age (Carr 1992, pers. comm.). A single satellitic cone, El Vigía, overlooks the village of Amapala on the NW flank.
