Galapagos Islands ... a short stay! [04:46]
Another part of our South American adventure in October 2011 was a visit to the Galapagos Islands, nearly 700 miles off the coast of Ecuador. It really is the most wonderful part of the world, virtually unspoiled and a magical environment for seeing nature and wildlife in it's element. We stayed for 3 nights aboard the Santa Cruz and visited 6 of the main islands. Enjoy John O'Brien PS This was shot on an i-phone so the quality isn't great, the camera judder is inevitable when used hand held.

South Plazas Island Galapagos Ecuador [14:25]
South Plazas is one of the islands in Ecuador's Galapagos National Park. While all of the islands are of volcanic origin, South Plazas has had some time to develop various kinds of plant life and is home to many kinds of lizards, both marine and land iguana, sea lions, and many kinds of birds. The rocky cliffs on the the island provides great roosting places for many of the birds and areas for sea lions to bask in the sun.

Bartolome Island in the Galapagos [06:41]
A visit to Bartolome Island, one of several islands in the Galapagos Islands National Park, Ecuador, South America. Bartolome is a young island of volcanic origin with a very rocky surface and limited plant and animal life. This island was used for some of the scenes in the Russel Crowe movie "Master & Commander". We were told the main characters never visited the island and used Green Screen technology to make it appear as if they were on the island. The board walk from the landing to the top included about 356 steps with a bit of huffing and puffing to get a great view of the area. Blue-Footed Boobies, pelicans, and small penguins could be seen along with sea lions and red crabs.
