Galapagos Sea Lions, Rabida Island, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
This one goes out to young Sophie Muller who requested some underwater action. We swam with these playful sea lions off the coast of Rabida Island in the Galapagos Islands. The underwater world in this location was much different than the other spots that we snorkeled. Absent was all the coral and the sea grass covered rocks. Instead, it was all turquoise water and red sand.
