"Galapagos, Equador" ©2015 photo Elroy Christenson The islands of the Galapagos
Islands are unique not only for the iquanas but also for the
surrealistic landscape on some of the islands. This particular
small island is more like a large rock and had been grazed to near
death by goats. After the removal of the introduced species the
island is again thriving with indigenous land iguanas, marine iguanas,
and many varieties of sea birds along with sea lions. Careful
stewardship with the aid of the Darwin Research Center has helped to
bring back the original wildlife.
