I haven’t really posted anything yet from the Galapagos that shows the landscape. This is a typical scene — a black lava rock fringed shoreline with a sea lion or two posing for the camera. Not visible in the photo, but also present were countless marine iguanas and sally lightfoot crabs, sea turtles, herons, lizards and all manner of other interesting creatures. This was on Fernandina, my favorite island of the eight or so that we visited. Fernandina also happens to be one of the newest islands in the archipelago and the most volcanically active.
