A couple of young Galápagos sea lions pose for the camera. This one was taken on Santiago Island. You can see a bunch of marine iguanas hanging out in the background. In fact, it seems wherever you go in the Galápagos there are marine iguanas hanging out in the background. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 800, f/18 at 1/200th of a second.
I feel like whoever named these creatures “Sea Lions” had never actually seen a lion. Or a ferret. Because “Sea Ferrets” or “Sea Weasels” captures their essence a bit better.
Real nice shot, Sean – beautiful Galapagos sea lions & the marine iguanas hugging the shoreline in the background add to the magic of that oh, so special place. Lucky you!
