Bartolomé Island
Bartolomé is a volcanic islet just off the east coast of Santiago Island. It is one of the 'younger' islands in the Galápagos archipelago.

The best known of the island's features is the Tuff Cone known as Pinnacle Rock. This large black partially eroded lava formation was created when magma expelled from the volcano reached the sea. When the seawaters cooled the hot lava it caused an explosion. The exploded particles eventually fasten together forming a rock composed of thin layers. Lying beside the Pinnacle Rock are twin half moon shaped beaches.

The northern beach is a popular snorkeling site where visitors have the opportunity to swim with fish, Sea Lions and Galapagos Penguins. Much larger animals can be found near the southern beach including stingrays, spotted eagle rays, white-tipped sharks, and black-tipped sharks.

Little vegetation grows in this barren place. Mangroves border the beach and the small shrub Tiguilia grows in the volcanic sands. The seeds and tiny white flowers of the Chamaesycae provide food for the island's finch. These plants are common to arid regions and are able to survive in these harsh volcanic conditions.

Hi Selen,
Beautiful shot from Pinnacle Rock. The colours are very impressive, as well as the transparency of the water. The pretty high horizon contributes to a very nice perspective.
Well done!
Best regards

Un lugar maravilloso..., una foto que lo expresa todo!!

Hi!
Great idea with taking this shot while standing in water - really nice. Beautiful colors, I wonder if you used some kind of lens filter (maybe polarizer?). Nice frame.

selam,

şu sıcak bunaltıcı günlerde özlemini çektiğimiz nefis bir manzara: deniz-güneş-kumsal; veya yalnızlık-dinginlik ve huzur...
renk çeşitliliği, geniş kadraj ve netlik çok hoş durmuş gerçekten.
tebrikler, teşekkürler.
