Galapagos - so close, but so far away...


I was suppose to travel to the Galapagos Islands this winter for a Marine Conservation course, but plans changed. I'm posting this map because it was what I looked at to learn the geography of the Galapagos. You can see the latitude and longitude, without the lines messing up the image. What's interesting it the two features labelled Fitzroy Smt. and Whitmer Smt. refer to underwater seamounts that were once above sealevel. Over years, they were either eroded away or subsided.
