2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Galapagos sea lion, Punta Pitt, San Cristobal Island, Galapagos, Ecuador
Warm sandy nap

Species: Galapagos sea lion | Location: Punta Pitt, San Cristobal Island, Galapagos, Ecuador

On our last day in the Galapagos Islands we visited Cristobal Island which had this amazing soft, white sand. Saw this little guy resting his face on a hard lava rock. His eye was delicately covered in white sand creating somewhat of a bandit effect. Loved being able to be only about 4 feet away from this treasure!
