penguin to nest entirely within the tropics and the only one to
nest naturally in the northern hemisphere. the Galapagos Penguin
is the 3rd smallest penguin in the world and is endemic to the islands.

coastal lava Although penguins cannot fly in the air, they can "fly"
underwater. We were lucky enough to snorkel while a group of them

schools of tiny fish.
