Late afternoon Dec. 3 flamingoes:

Moon over red sand beach just before sunset:

Yes that’s a sea lion on the beach.

Sea lion hung out by every boat dock.

Early morning walk Dec. 5 was on Espanola in the far south.

Marine iguanas here had more red color.

Here’s one above a baby sea lion.

Ghost crab excavating burrow:

Black necked stilt:

Albatrosses:

Nazca booby with chick:

Not many places you can walk through a nesting area like this.

This is a collapsed magma chamber on Santa Cruz.

The highlands are lush from chronic fog and more rain. Low elevation islands only get about 5 inches rain per year.

On departure morning we passed Kicker Rock near San Cristobal.

If you stay on San Cristobal, Kicker Rock is the local dive site for hammerheads.
