Ecuador Trip Part 3: North Seymour Island

The next day I visited North Seymour Island. It was about a one hour boat ride from Santa Cruz Island. One the way to the island, I saw frigate birds, petrels, pelicans, and rays jumping out of the water. On the island itself, I was able to see more frigate birds, tons of blue-footed boobies, many other birds, marine iguanas, sea lions, and two land iguanas. It was amazing how close you could get to the animals. I had one blue-footed booby get within one foot of me!
