Galapagos Islands - Natural - Ecuador
Canal Itabaca - this narrow body of water separates Isla Baltra from Isla Santa Cruz - here viewing at Punta Carrion, a volcanic rock cliff shoreline at the northern-most end of Santa Cruz Island. The Galapagos Islands, officially the Colon Archipelago, lie in the southeastern trade wind zone, in the equatorial eastern Pacific. When the trade wind weakens between January and April, the South Equatorial Current flows on the south side, causing the island's temperature to increases, and the "warm season and rainy season" arrives. In June, the trade wind strengthens and the cold South Equatorial Current flows around the whole archipelago, the air temperature then drops marking the arrival of the "cooler season - dry season", also referred to as the "Garúa season (misty cloudy). This set of images during 18 days in Feb.
