Galapagos Day 2
The walk through the rocks and along the cliffs of Punta Suarez was nothing short of spectacular. Birds were everywhere, and they paid no attention to human visitors.
Galapagos Day 2
The walk through the rocks and along the cliffs of Punta Suarez was nothing short of spectacular. Birds were everywhere, and they paid no attention to human visitors.
 |
| The subspecies of marine iguanas on Española are the most brightly colored of any in the Galapagos. |
Landscapes & Seascapes
 |
| This part of Española is flat. |
 |
| The vertical bluffs and flat land make the perfect habitat for albatross breeding grounds. |
 |
| There is an impressive blowhole along the coast. |
 |
| A Zodiac ferries passengers between the ship and the landing point. |
Birds
 |
| Española is known for its waved albatross breeding grounds. The high cliffs make it easy for the land-awkward birds to take flight. |

 |
| Punta Suarez is a known hang-out for the Galapagos hawk. |
Sea Lions
 |
| Sea lions like to block trails everywhere in the Galapagos. Pass with care! |

 |
| These two relatively young pups were having a good time. |
 |
| This newborn pup was having trouble finding a nipple to nurse. It still had the umbilical cord attached, and the placenta was under a nearby shrub. And it whimpered like a newborn baby. |
 |
| But it didn't take long to find nourishment. |
