Marine Iguanas, Puerto Egas, Santiago Island, The Galapagos, Ecuador, 2012

The lava fields of Puerto Egas remind one of the beginnings of the earth itself -- bare, hostile, and colored black with a dirty yellow tint. The prehistoric looking Marine Iguanas living here seem a perfect fit for this place. I photograph a pair of them as they crawl slowly along a predictable trail worn smooth by their bodies over the centuries. I use a 24mm wide-angle focal length to stress their laborious passage.
