The Galapagos Islands

I still can't believe that I am going to the Galapagos islands. The other teachers and I won't go to all of the islands, but the plan is for us to visit about four of the islands. The Galapagos tends to be one of the most volcanic places on Earth. There is constant simmering beneath all of these islands.

The islands move about one to two inches every year, so these islands are on a kind of "geological conveyer belt." The oldest island is in the east and the youngest is in the west. Some of the islands are still volcanically active.

Isabella is an island that is shaped like a seahorse. It is a million years old and it has a lot of vegetation.

Santa Cruz is a middle-aged island. It's very far from the hot spot, so there is no volcanic activity there. This island is teeming with wildlife. There is a lot of rainfall and freshwater pools.
