Galapagos Pt 4: The project begins!

Sara Maxwell in the Fernandina Island, Galapagos Islands, Equador--The L/P Guadalupe River finally arrived at Isla Fernandina the morning of Oct 1 after a three day, two night trip.  As we weaved through the Canal Bolívar that separates Isla Fernandina and Isla Isabela, we gaped at the massive volcanos that top each of the islands.  La Cumbre (roughly translated to "The Peak") is the one and only volcano on Fernandina, but it is HUGE - the third largest in the Galapagos at 4,800 ft (1463 m).
