Walk on Genovesa Island

Take a commemorative photo with a sea lion.

Climb the quay

Landing on the quay

The lava quay stretches for hundreds of meters,
and the idyllic scenery of sea lions lying on the ledge is soothing.

A sea lion lays down on the sandy beach
of Darwin and occasionally lifts her neck and poses.

I won't complain about taking a commemorative photo of tourists.

Red-footed booby nests on the tree It is a paradise
for birds and is protected by the rules of nature.

They will not run away unless they are approached
and surprised or fed.

However, the competition for survival
in the seabird paradise seems to be fierce,
and dead bodies can be seen near the nest.

 

The Prince Phillips Step is located on the southeastern cape
of the Island on the north side of the equator.

After climbing about 15m,
a colony of birds spreads on the ground where lava is oxidized.

Even if you look at humans, there are no birds that fly away,
sea swallows fly around,
A Galapagos frigatebird inflates a red throat bag and calls a female.

I also met the gannet.

An Island with sea lion harems and bird colonies.

Area 14km2 Altitude 76m


Many females flock to the sea lion harem.
When I approached the child's sea lion with a camera,
a big male flew in and threatened me.


Forget the rule of staying away and hurry up to the land.
One male in charge but it seems
that the generation will change in about half a year.

The energy doesn't last so long.

Looking into the sea,
there are no tropical fish,
but black lava It creates a mysterious atmosphere.
