Galapagos Islands trip 28 Dec 2011 - 4 Jan 2012 - Page #3

Our shipmates walking on the beach. The crabs are really colorfull. More crab pictures. The girls were always busy and fun to be with. Lots of Yellow Warblers.
Kicker Rock as we motor to the afternoon landing site. The city of Galapaguera on San Cristobal. Here we took a bus to hike to the only fresh water lake on the islands. After a steep uphill hike, we encounter El Junco Lagoon, the only fresh water lake in the Galapagos Islands. A sign explaining the lake. Another sign explaining how the Frigate birds clean their wings.
A view from the lake as to where we landed in the morning. We were on the white beach on the right. Day 4 - 31 Dec 2011 Espanola (Hood) Island itinerary. Landing on the beach at Gardner Bay. A herd of Marine Iguanas. More Marine Iguanas.
Boats in the bay and sea lion pups in the rocks. Our first sighting of an immature Waved Albatross. We turned a corner in the path and there were the adults. These were performing the courtship dance. Here you can see a <a href="movies/MVI_1710_x264.mp4">video</a> I took of it. Marine Iguanas warming up on the cliffs.
