Celebrity Xpedition - Galapagos Islands Cruise - February 2010

Darwin, the HMS Beagle, Origin of the Species, all the keywords come together when you think about the Galapagos Islands. An archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, due west of Ecuador, where plants and animals can found that exist nowhere else on the planet. Volcanic landscapes that resemble the lunar surface, crystalline clear waters where sea life abounds, and sandy beaches that, except for the sake of some hardy souls, would become overrun with condominiums and man's pollution. Our seven days on the islands were just enough to instill the same respect for nature that Charles Darwin found so many years ago. Enjoy the trip with us through these pictures and my running commentary.
