GARDNER BAY on the north- 

 eastern shores of Hood Is- 

 land provides a bit of awe- 

 some scenery typical of the 

 Galapagos Archipelago. 



EL GAMING de la Muerte 

 (Highway of Death) is the 

 grisly name given to one 

 trail crossing Floreana Is- 

 land. It is marked by 

 bleached skulls of wild bulls.

BROAD SANDY 

 beaches such as this 

 one at Banks Bay, 

 Albemarle Island, 

 are rather rare in the 

 Galapagos Islands. 

 Of volcanic origin, 

 the group is mostly 

 mountainous, rough 

 and formidable. 

 Lava reefs make ap- 

 proaches to the is- 

 lands hazardous.
