Galapagos – Coasts and Beaches – Travelogue 1
The coasts and beaches on the Galapagos Islands are not a classic place to stay for tourists. The opposite is the case. The coasts and beaches belong to the wildlife that lives here. Here is one of the few places in the world where the sell-out of nature has not yet been completed.
Bizarre rock formations line the coasts of the volcanic islands. On our trip, we see smaller uninhabited islands emerging from the sea again and again, as if out of nowhere. The shapes of the coasts are of a very different nature.
The rocky islands usually have high and steep cliffs, while the volcanic islands are often flatter and partly equipped with white untouched sandy beaches. We pass islands where you can see their volcanic origin right away. Here the crater of this small island seems to have exploded.

On this day, a strong surf whips onto the coast, sparking a natural spectacle of a unique kind. From the underground crevices and passages, the seawater shoots to the surface in huge fountains.
The structure of the lava islands often looks very similar in its basic structure. The lava cools as it flows into the sea, leaving behind different shapes that look like works of art of nature. At the bottom left, a structure that you could think is alive?
