The Fernandina Marine Iguana, also known as Amblyrhynchus cristatus, is a fascinating creature found in the Galapagos Islands. These unique iguanas have adapted to their marine environment and display remarkable behaviors. One captivating sight is witnessing the Marine Iguana swimming gracefully underwater around Fernandina Island. Their sleek bodies glide effortlessly through the crystal-clear waters, showcasing their incredible aquatic abilities. At sunset, Punta Vicente Roca becomes a magical place where silhouettes of these marine iguanas can be seen against the vibrant hues of the sky. It's a breathtaking scene that highlights nature's beauty and tranquility. On shore at Punta Moreno on Isabela Island, you may spot a Marine Iguana basking under the warm sun on volcanic rocks. They use this time to absorb heat and recharge before diving back into their oceanic habitat. Feeding on Ulva algae on lava seafloors is another intriguing behavior displayed by these iguanas. Watching them graze peacefully amidst this harsh environment showcases their ability to adapt and find sustenance even in challenging conditions. After emerging from the sea following a satisfying feast of algae, these iguanas can be observed on Fernandina Island. The contrast between their dark bodies and bright surroundings creates an enchanting visual spectacle that epitomizes life in this unique ecosystem. Males in breeding coloration are truly eye-catching as they perch confidently on rocks with a halo-like sun shining behind them. This display not only attracts potential mates but also serves as a reminder of how diverse and stunning nature can be. Floreana Island provides yet another picturesque setting for observing these creatures perched majestically upon rocks. Their presence adds to the charm of this already mesmerizing island landscape within the Galapagos archipelago. Underwater once again near Fernandina Island, one witnesses firsthand how well-adapted these iguanas are to their marine habitat.
