La isla del Congreso es una de las tres que forman el pequeño archipiélago africano de las islas Chafarinas, que constituyen una de las plazas de soberanía españolas africanas, lindando con Marruecos. Es la más escarpada, elevada y extensa del grupo insular,[1][2] e históricamente sirvió de presidio.[1] Actualmente está deshabitada y posee conejos y una importante colonia de palomas salvajes[2] que, alimentándose en el continente, anidan en la isla.
