A central valley splits the island along the Santa Cruz Island Fault, with volcanic rock on the north and older sedimentary rock on the south. This volcanic rock was heavily fractured during the uplift phase that formed the island and over a hundred large sea caves have been carved into the resulting faults. One of these, Painted Cave, is among the world's largest.
Santa Cruz Island has many species found nowhere else on earth, including for instance the Santa Cruz Island Horse, the island scrub jay and the Santa Cruz Island fox (Urocyon littoralis santacruzae), a subspecies of the Island Fox.
