As we began the first full day of our Galapagos adventure, we awoke to Galapagos sharks swimming alongside our floating home for the week, the National Geographic Endeavour II. A deep blue sky and sea welcomed us as we headed out in Zodiacs to land at North Seymour.  Our hike around this tiny island led us to encounter an amazing plethora of wildlife. Afterwards we headed back to the ship for lunch, while a short navigation brought us to Rabida Island in the afternoon. It’s distinctive dark red coloring is a departure from the landscapes that we have experienced so far. Already we were experiencing the incredible diversity of this archipelago. After a long hike over this unique terrain, we headed back to the shore to take our Zodiacs back to the ship.  The sun dipped behind the horizon, creating a beautiful array of colors through the sky. More adventures await us tomorrow, as our exploration continues.
