Galápagos, Ecuador

Sullivan Bay, Santiago, Celebrity Xpedition

Sullivan Bay is located south-east of Santiago Island. It is of great geological interest. Here you can see some amazing lava formations, the result of a volcanic eruption in 1903. This is an excellent example of colors and shapes that contrast with lavas typical of other older types. Volcanological formations attract students and scientists from all sides due to the capricious formations.
Sullivan Bay has an elevation of 114 meters, where you can observe sea and land birds, a colony of fur seal and black marine iguanas have adapted very well to this field.

SULLIVAN BAY SANTIAGO ISLAND GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

SULLIVAN BAY SANTIAGO ISLAND GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

during our trip to the Galapagos we were fortunate enough to visit this volcanic island where we saw lava that was thousands of years old, petrified remains of forests and recent lava flows.
the patterns on the lava were fantastic and we saw the odd lava cactus plant too.
Santiago Island (Spanish pronunciation: [sanˈtjaɣo]) is an island of the Galápagos Islands. It is also known as San Salvador, named after the first island discovered by Columbus in the Caribbean Sea (see San Salvador Island), or as James Island. The island, which consists of two overlapping volcanoes, has an area of 585 square kilometers (226 sq mi) and a maximum altitude of 907 meters (2,976 ft), atop the northwestern shield volcano.
Sullivan Bay is especially fascinating for those who are interested in geology and volcanology. You can walk over the uneroded, black lava flow covered with lava bubbles and tree-trunk molds in the surface. There are two small beaches where turtles come for nesting.

The Galapagos - Santiago, Bartolome and Santa Cruz Islands

Here's some footage from our last couple of days in the Galapagos Islands where we visited Santiago, Bartolome and Santa Cruz Islands before flying out of Santa Cruz.

There's a mixture of nature walks across lava fields, snorkelling with sea turtles, walking along beautiful white sandy beaches, exploring lava tubes on Santa Cruz and checking out giant tortoises

Urbina Bay Isabela Snorkel

Snorkeling in Urbina Bay, Isla Isabela in the Galapagos. Strong waves made for some challenging conditions and decreased viability. Did see a few sea turtles and a variety of fish though.

06Aug2019 Galapagos Day 7 of 8, Sullivan Bay on Isla Santiago and Isla Rabida

We begin our day in Sullivan Bay on Isla Santiago (Santiago Island) and explored a lava field that flowed and solidified in the second half of the 18th century when the earth split and opened up multiple fissures.
Everywhere you see the black lava used to be part of the bay.
The images here reminded me of a lunar landscape.
Then we navigated to Isla Rabida (Rabida Island) where the group went snorkeling.
I stay behind and got to visit the Bridge and Engine room. I have already posted a video about that.
This video ends with Cruise mates playing Monopoly using playing cards, I had not seen that version of Monopoly.

Urbina Bay, The Galápagos Islands - Ecuador, South America

In 2019 I spent 8 Days on an amazing Boat Tour Of The Galápagos Islands. Here is a selection of short video diaries of my trip. Day 5 - The day finished with a walk into the island, with the aim of seeing some land iguanas & giant tortoises in the wild. Again, we were lucky, with a couple of female tortoises who had come to the lower ground to lay their eggs. We saw a land iguana in a burrow, sheltering in a hole in the ground. Then we were rewarded with a fat, ugly, golden creature, out in a clearing. This one wasn’t going anywhere & we took time to appreciate the moment.

Bartolomé Island, Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, South America

Bartolomé Island is a volcanic islet in the Galápagos Islands group. It is a volcanic islet just off the east coast of Santiago Island. It is one of the younger islands in the Galápagos archipelago. This island, and Sulivan Bay on Santiago island, are named after naturalist and lifelong friend of Charles Darwin, Sir Bartholomew James Sulivan, who was a lieutenant aboard HMS Beagle. With a total land area of just 1.2 km², this island offers some of the most beautiful landscapes in the archipelago. The island consists of an extinct volcano and a variety of red, orange, green, and glistening black volcanic formations. Bartolomé has a volcanic cone that is easy to climb and provides great views of the other islands. Bartolomé is famous for its Pinnacle Rock, which is the distinctive characteristic of this island, and the most representative landmark of the Galápagos. It has two visitor sites. At the first one, one may swim and snorkel around Pinnacle Rock; the underwater world there is really impressive. Snorkelers are in the water with the penguins, marine turtles, white-tipped reef sharks, and other tropical fish. The bay is also an excellent place to go swimming. The twin bays are separated by a narrow isthmus. Galápagos penguins are frequently seen, and a small cave behind Pinnacle Rock houses a breeding colony. Seasonally, Bartolomé is the mating and nesting site for the green turtles. With herons, they make use of the gentler beaches. The Galápagos lava cacti colonize the new lava fields.
