The last island we visited was Isabela, a much younger island than the two others, given its western location. The island still has active volcanoes and fewer land animals given the little vegetation. As on the other islands we went snorkeling and could see sleeping sharks in caves, as well as huge lobsters and manta rays. Other commons animals are octopuses and sea horses.
 |
| The caldera (crater) of the volcano Sierra Negra is the second largest in the world with a 10 km circumference. |
 |
| The volcanic landscape is desertic. |
 |
| Isabela is the only island with flamingos. |
 |
| The breeding center of the island has hundreds of turtles, they need to stay 8 years in captivity before to be released in the wild. |
 |
| As everywhere in Galapagos the iguanas are kings and spends the days taking the sun on the beaches. |
 |
| We went snorkeling in lava tunnels, here is Pili with a Blue footed Booby saying hi! |
