Click on a picture for a larger display or Slideshow button (right) for automatic display. January 2012. 960km West of Ecuador lie the Galapagos islands. The rich upwelling of the Benguela current provides ample food for the many species of animals and birds found on the islands. These animals have been stranded for hundreds of years with no predators and so are not scared of humans. Visiting is strictly limited to protect the islands and the unique species found there and protected by UNESCO.
