EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Marine iguana (Amblyrhynchus cristatus) in all its natural glory. Taken at Suarez Point, Isla Espanola (Hood Island), a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, this image showcases the incredible biodiversity found on this remote archipelago. The marine iguana is an iconic species native to the Galapagos Islands and is known for its unique adaptation to both land and sea. In this photograph, we see one of these fascinating creatures lying peacefully on a rock, basking under the warm South American sun. The intricate details of its scaly skin are beautifully captured by photographer Michael DeFreitas/Robert Harding. The side view perspective allows us to appreciate every aspect of this wild reptile's features - from its sharp claws to its distinctive spiky crest. As we admire this stunning creature against a backdrop of untouched nature, it serves as a reminder of why places like Isla Espanola have been designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These protected areas not only preserve important ecosystems but also provide critical habitats for countless species like the marine iguana. Through photography like this, we can connect with wildlife and gain a deeper appreciation for our planet's rich biodiversity. This image invites us into their world - a world that deserves our respect and conservation efforts.
