EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by the talented Michael Nolan, we witness an adult brown pelican in all its glory. Sporting its vibrant breeding plumage, this majestic sea bird takes a break from soaring through the Galapagos Island Group skies to indulge in a refreshing bath on Bartolome Island. With wings spread wide and beak pointed towards the heavens, our lone pelican friend gracefully dips into the crystal-clear seawater of the Pacific Ocean. As it splashes about with sheer delight, one can almost hear its contented squawks echoing across the archipelago. The Galapagos Islands are renowned for their unique wildlife and breathtaking landscapes. And here on Bartolome Island, nature has truly outdone itself! The warm equatorial sun casts a golden glow upon our feathered protagonist as it revels in this moment of pure bliss. As ocean currents dance around Las Encantadas (the Enchanted Isles), including the famous Humboldt Current known for its rich marine life, our pelican friend benefits from nutrient-rich upwellings that sustain these remarkable ecosystems. It's no wonder why these islands have become synonymous with natural wonders! So let us raise a toast to this magnificent creature - defying gravity with every flight and embracing life's simple pleasures like bathing in style. This stunning photograph reminds us to take time out of our busy lives to appreciate nature's beauty and find joy
