A day of adventure around Isabella island!
On the back of the red pick-up on our way up to the base of Sierra Negra Volcano, with Joel, Christy & Tim who were also in our group. 
A bad snapshot of Julio & Lady taken over my shoulder whilst riding up to the rim of the volcano.
Joel & Mark.

Hiking along the top to the lava fields and more volcanic cones.
´Áh-ah´ lava that is rather rocky, from the Hawaiin for sore.

Super light and brittle rocks.
My crazy great-uncle, Mark!

Galapagos penguins over beautiful swim throughs in the rocks. We spent the rest of the afternoon snorkelling around the corner from here - saw amazing sea snake, some beautiful rays and even swam with sea lions. Awesome day!
