Our first destination was Punta Moreno in the south west of the island. Here we landed on the edge of an enormous lava field below the 4000 feet dome of the Volcan Sierra Negra. We walked for a few kilometres over razor sharp lava clinkers visiting several brackish collapse lagoons in the lava field before returning to some amazing coastal lagoons like giant aquariums holding lots of fish, turtles and even sharks. At Punta Moreno we got our first sightings of the Galapagos Penguin and the Flightless Cormorant. Later in the morning we went snorkeling in shockingly cold water though we were rewarded with close-up views, actually touching distance, of the cormorants, penguins and some huge turtles.
