[1091] Galapagos Islands
A selection of images of the diverse wildlife in the Galapagos Islands. Originally "discovered" by explorer Charles Darwin, the archipelago is located some 1,000 km from Ecuador, and is home to a huge number of different animal and bird species. The islands are still sparsely populated with 26,000 people spread over 8,000 square kilometres of land, and most of the animals and birds rarely come into contact with humans. Because of the resultant lack of fear shown by the animals and birds, Cairns Aitken, the photographer and contributor of the project, was able to get up close to his subjects and capture them in amazing detail.
