Santa Cruz Island
The fifteen members of the first-ever National Geographic Kids Expedition team began their adventure today. Shrieks of excitement rang out as soon as the kids saw Galápagos sea lions and brown pelicans sunning at the dock. The kids couldn’t wait to board the Islander and start exploring the islands. After lunch and an impromptu swim (no…no one fell in…they jumped!), expedition members boarded Zodiacs to investigate mangrove swamps around Santa Cruz Island. White-tipped reef sharks, spotted eagle rays, marine iguanas, and blue-footed boobies were among the first species spotted by the intrepid team. Log on every day this week to follow our exciting adventures, reported by team members as they continue their expedition through the Galápagos.
