Just before breakfast, National Geographic Endeavour II arrived to the northern island of Genovesa, where we observed many sea birds flying out to sea in search of food. The narrow passage into the collapsed Caldera is always spectacle—no matter where you look at, you see birds! There are two amazing visitor sites on Genovesa: Darwin Bay and Prince Phillips Steps. Here we observed a large number of red-footed and Nazca boobies, great frigate birds, and swallow-tailed gulls. The island is a perfect location for resting and nesting. Visiting Genovesa is a truly unforgettable experience, and the Galapagos Islands are a treat for the soul!
