Description
"Blue Footed Booby Grooming Session" by Catherine Sherman.
Three blue-footed boobies groom themselves on the lava formations of Los Tuneles (The Tunnels), south of Isabela Island in the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador.
The marine sanctuary of Los Tuneles features numerous tunnels, arches and lava tubes. Manta rays, sea horses, sharks and turtles live underwater, while blue-footed boobies and penguins live on the rocks above. Prickly pear cactus grow on the lichen-covered rocks.
Los Tuneles is a 45- to 60-minute boat ride from Puerto Villamil on the island of Isabela in the Galápagos Islands of the Ecuador.
The Galápagos archipelago has been described as one of the most unique, scientifically important, and biologically outstanding areas on earth.The Galápagos Islands is a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. It's considered one of the world's foremost destinations for wildlife-viewing. A province of Ecuador, it lies about 1,000km off its coast. Its isolated terrain shelters a diversity of plant and animal species, many found nowhere else. Charles Darwin visited in 1835, and his observation of Galápagos' species later inspired his theory of evolution. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
