: A thrilling volcanic eruption, salt-sneezing lizards & a win for ocean conservation

When Wolf Volcano—the islands' largest volcano—began erupting, our expedition leaders and ship captains worked quickly to modify the itinerary to give guests a mesmerizing view. Unlike any other place on Earth, Galápagos is home to a diverse abundance of natural wonders. Last month, to help preserve this pristine paradise, Ecuador extended marine protections—another step to safeguard it for future generations. From hammerheads to white-tipped reef sharks, more than 30 diverse species inhabit the waters of the Galápagos. Find out why these apex predators are drawn to the islands—and why protecting them is critical to the health of the marine ecosystem. Get to know this salt-sneezing, deep-diving lizard.
