From Fernandina.
If I were making a photo album of my Galápagos photos (which I did), this is the one I’d use for the cover. Not only does it capture a nice quintessential Galápagos landscape (La Cumbre volcano), but it shows my group doing what the whole trip was about: exploring.
In the foreground is our professor and fearless leader, Dr. Jed Burtt; he was one of my favorite professors in undergrad and inspired me to continue with scientific research as my career. The trip would not have been nearly as amazing without him.
