Galápagos Aboard the National Geographic Endeavour II

A group of intrepid Princetonians met in Guayaquil - the largest, most populous city in Ecuador before sailing 600 miles to the Galápagos Islands. In this magical place, travelers encountered sea lions, fur seals, marine iguanas, sea turtles, penguins, and a wealth of bird life, such as frigatebirds, blue-footed boobies, Galápagos hawks, Darwin's finches, Nazca boobies and short-eared owls.
