Come take a dive with us in the deep blue waters of the Galápagos. While schools of fish dart overhead like silver birds, a marine iguana glides gracefully, in search of its next meal of algae. Galápagos marine iguanas are one of mitty’s favorite animals to photograph for their ancient appearance and unique behavior. Even Charles Darwin was fascinated by them. In his journal, The Voyage of the Beagle, he famously wrote, “I threw one several times as far as I could into a deep pool left by the retiring tide; but it invariably returned in a direct line to the spot where I stood.” Although we strongly urge against tossing iguanas, it’s easy to see why these incredible creatures have captivated explorers for centuries! #ocean #explore #galapagos
