El Tigre is an
island located in the
Gulf of Fonseca, a body of water on the Pacific coast of
Central America. The island is a conical
basaltic
stratovolcano and the southernmost volcano in
Honduras. It belongs to
Valle department. Together with a few tiny satellite islets and rocks (for example Isla Comandante off the north coast), it forms the municipality of
Amapala, with an area of 75.2 km² and a population of 2,482 as of the
census of 2001 (of which 4 people were living on Isla Comandante).
Three countries, Honduras,
El Salvador, and
Nicaragua, have coastline along the Gulf of Fonseca, and all three have been involved in a lengthly dispute over the rights to the
gulf and the islands located there within. In 1992, a chamber of the
International Court of Justice (ICJ) decided the Land, Island and Maritime Frontier Dispute, of which the gulf dispute was a part. The ICJ determined that El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua were to share control of the Gulf of Fonseca. El Salvador was awarded the islands of Meanguera and Meanguerita, and Honduras was awarded the island of El Tigre.
