Islands in Time: The Galapagos

This chain of “enchanted islands,” located some 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador in South America, is one of the most remarkable places on earth because of its unique natural history. Most animals and plants here—all very rare—have evolved in isolation from the rest of the world. Some scientists theorize that many of these species evolved on a much older chain of islands that is now submerged to the west of the Galapagos.

Many of the animals, from iguanas to tortoises, seem utterly prehistoric in nature. Most are completely unafraid of humans. The only large land mammal is the Galapagos sea lion, although due to the incursions of man, feral goats and other mammals have decimated some of the islands.

I traveled there 2003, 2010 and 2015 visiting Santa Cruz, South Plaza, Floreanna, Isabela, Fernandina, James and Bartoleme islands. We lived and traveled aboard the 78-foot motor yacht Samba, hiking and snorkeling and of course taking tons of photos. These images (and many more) are available for purchase as prints from my online Imagekind gallery. Additional images are available for print enlargements and as downloadable files for publication at this site. If you don’t see what you want, get in touch.
