Tower Island, located in the northeast part of
Galapagos, this relatively small island is a low - lying volcano
rising just above the ocean surface. To reach this remote location
visitors journey across rough open waters during a lengthy 8-10
hour, all - night sail from Puerto Ayora. Tower is an oasis for sea
birds is well worth any discomfort caused by the crossing. Tower
attracts an enormous number of pelagic seabirds that come there to
nest. Great Frigatebirds, Red-Footed Boobies, Swallow-Tailed Gulls
and Storm Petrels all breed here by the thousands. |
