Galapagos From Fire to Flight a Visitor's View
Gordon N. Converse describes arriving at the Galapagos Islands 600 miles off Ecuador, observing blue footed boobies, seals, and iguanas along volcanic shores. He notes the islands formed from volcanic activity, their isolation, and diverse life evolving over millions of years. Buccaneers once hunted tortoises and seals, but now Ecuador promotes responsible travel and preservation as the islands become a national park.
