EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Galapagos Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its unique wildlife and breathtaking landscapes. In this image, a pair of adult Galapagos penguins can be seen perched on the rocks in Urbina Bay, showcasing their striking black and white plumage against the vibrant blue ocean backdrop. The Galapagos penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus) is one of the smallest species of penguins in the world and is endemic to these enchanting islands. With no people in sight, this photograph perfectly encapsulates the untouched beauty of nature found here. Urbina Bay, located on Santiago Island within Ecuador's South America territory, offers an idyllic setting for these charming creatures to thrive. The rocky terrain provides them with shelter and protection while they bask under the warm sun. As we admire this image, it reminds us of how fortunate we are to witness animals like these in their natural habitat. It serves as a reminder that preserving such delicate ecosystems is crucial for future generations to experience and appreciate. Michael S. Nolan has expertly captured not only the gracefulness but also the vulnerability of these incredible birds through his lens. This horizontal color image transports us into a world where wildlife reigns supreme - where every rock holds a story waiting to be discovered by intrepid travelers seeking adventure amidst untamed nature. Whether you're an avid traveler or simply an admirer of nature's wonders, this print will transport you straight into paradise – where two adult Galapagos penguins stand as ambassadors for all wild creatures who call this remarkable place home.
