EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Bob Gibbons, we witness a mesmerizing sight on Fernandina Island in the Galapagos. A large mass of marine iguanas has gathered together to soak up some much-needed sun and warm their cold-blooded bodies. These endemic reptiles, specialized for life in the harsh island environment, showcase nature's remarkable ability to adapt through natural selection and evolution. As if posing for a group portrait, these reptilian sun-worshippers create an awe-inspiring spectacle against the backdrop of the stunning Galapagos landscape. Their scaly bodies form a mosaic of earthy tones that perfectly blend with their volcanic habitat. The Galapagos Islands, nestled in the Pacific Ocean off Ecuador's coast, have long been celebrated as a haven for unique wildlife. This snapshot captures one such marvel – the marine iguana – showcasing its resilience and adaptation skills. With temperatures being crucial for their survival, these cold-blooded creatures have mastered temperature control through basking under the tropical sun. It's fascinating how they've evolved to become masters of both land and sea - true amphibians! Bob Gibbons' photograph transports us into this enchanting world where time seems to stand still amidst untouched nature reserves and national parks. So let your imagination wander as you gaze upon this incredible display of unity among these ancient reptiles who know just how to enjoy a sunny day!
