awesome experience
Without a doubt anchoring in Elizabeth Bay after a magnificent day on the second day coasting Isabela Island, snorkeling included with sea lions, turtles and rays, when the eruption of the La Cumbre volcano occurred on the Fernandina Island that we had on the horizon. At dusk we could see the flames of the lava falling down the slope of the volcano and the smoke when it reached the sea. The sunset was spectacular.
