Tintoreras Islet - Galapagos - Set 3

[Otavio]

Hi. This time I am sharing some images of the Tintoreras Islet. This is a volcanic Islet, fully covered with volcanic rocks. The lava rocks give a different "look" to the islet. Unfortunately, it was raining when we arrived there and we didnt spend much time on it, so I had to shoot some of images under the rain. You might notice some blurred areas in some images, due to the small drops of water on the lens. Still, I believe they can convey the place's atmosphere.

The question is: Since this is just a small islet and there is no volcano on it, where did the lava come from? Next on: The lava tunnels!

6 - This was shot with my compact waterproof camera (yes, the snorkelling one!), a Sony TF1. The yellow "rocks" are, actually, corals. I liked the result of them mixed with the darker volcanic rocks. Too bad it was raining...
