About This Item

Ready for the trip

The Galápagos Islands (Spanish name: Archipiélago de Colón or Islas Galápagos) are an archipelago made up of 13 main volcanic islands, 6 smaller islands, and 107 rocks and islets. The very first island is thought to have formed between 5 and 10 million years ago, a result of tectonic activity. The youngest islands, Isabela and Fernandina, are still being formed, with the most recent volcanic eruption in 2005. The Galápagos archipelago is politically part of Ecuador, a country in northwestern South America. The islands are distributed around the equator, 965 kilometres (about 600 miles) west of Ecuador (recently found to have 3 volcanos in the center island, all of them active)(0° N 91° W). They are famed for their vast number of endemic species and the studies by Charles Darwin that led to his theory of evolution by natural selection.

Retrieve It from a Cache 8/31/2009 hb-adams retrieved it from Cinnamon Butte Oregon   Visit Log

After some internet connectivity issues, we are able to log this cute little guy! He traveled all around Diamond Lake and make a trip to Crater Lake as well. Just this past weekend, he made the long drive from Diamond Lake to Huntington Beach. We will replace him in a suitable cache in the next few days. Wish we could escort him to the Galapagos Islands!! We found him just a bit too late -- my niece was there working on a movie a few months ago.

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 7/18/2009 Snotones grabbed it   Visit Log

Grabbed this from Jim's Point of view. All the pictures are used and like the previous logger mentioned, all that is left of the log is the cardboard backing. I will move along and hope it makes it's way to the goal.

Found this at Jim's Point of View GC1EM3F. I'm sorry to say that the log book is gone, all that remains is the cardboard back cover and the bear is also gone, I didn't know there was one until I just pulled it up to log it. The camera is full - no places left to take photos. I will post photos we took with our camera. I'm sorry this has happened to your TB but I hope it makes it it's goal.
