Nothing prepares you for the Galapagos. You hear stories about it, but you still can't comprehend it. The newest lava field on Santiago Island was formed after Darwin's visit, in the last 180 years. The lava has shifted Santiago's coastline one and a half kilometers toward the neighboring island, and two of the three small islands that existed before Darwin's time have become part of Santiago. The lava has created a completely new landscape and many exciting details, such as this rope bridge.
