Penguins on the rocks, when we snorkled close to the rocks we saw them dive into

the water and swim around us.

 

 

 

Sally light foot crabs covered the lava rocks in bright splashes of red and turtles swam in

The lava rock pools along with playful sea lions.

 

 

 

The flightless cormerant has evolved specific to Galapagos as there are no predators on land

and their wings are adapted to swim under the water to catch fish.
