Galapagos Day 6: Isla Bartolomé!


Our schedule for the day!


A caldera on the edge of Bartolome Island. There was actually a sea lion frolicking inside the ring, but you can’t see him in this photo.


Me on Bartolome Island. You can see our catamaran, the Nemo I, anchored in the bay just to the left of my head.


Me in front of the summit of Bartolome Island. You can see the trails left by the lava flow just to the right of me.


A view from partway up the summit, looking out over Sullivan Bay. You can see the wooden boardwalk built to make the ascent easier and to protect the island from excessive impact from tourist traffic.


Continuing our ascent. You can see the little red summit marker in the upper-right hand corner of this photo.


Me nearly at the summit, with a view out towards Santiago (a.k.a. Isla San Salvador). To the right of me, you can also see Pinnacle Rock


Lava Lizard on Bartolome Island -- pretty cute, no? ;-)


Me from the summit. You can once again see the Nemo I, as well as Pinnacle Rock.
