awesome experience

Sin duda el fondeo en bahía Elizabeth después de un magnífico día en el segundo día costeando la isla Isabela, snorqueling incluido con leones marinos, tortugas y rayas, cuando se produjo la erupción del volcán La Cumbre en la isla Fernandina que teníamos en el horizonte. Al caer la tarde pudimos apreciar las llamas de la lava cayendo por la ladera del volcán y el humo cuando esta alcanzaba el mar. La puesta de sol fue espectacular.
