It is our first full day in the Galápagos, and we visited two different islands, Seymour and Rábida. Early in the morning, we took a hike on Seymour Island, a place that holds one of the largest nesting sites for blue-footed boobies, frigatebirds, and swallow-tailed gulls. We also had the opportunity to explore the shore by Zodiac, observing the fascinating wildlife of the Galápagos.
Later in the day, National Geographic Endeavour II changed location to Rábida Island, a site unique in the world due to its high concentration of iron, which gives the island its distinctive red color. Here, we had our first look at the abundant marine wildlife that the Galápagos Islands offer.
As the sun was setting, we took a short stroll along the beach, wrapping up a wonderful day.
