NOTE FROM ED: Looks like this was started but never finished. Looks like it could be ready to go with a little formatting. We often attribute Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution to his visit to the Galapagos Islands in 1835.

Conservation
No, it’s not the name of a monster from one of those Godzilla movies, nor is it the name of a European shelving unit that you’d find at Ikea. IGTOA stands for the International Galapagos Tour Operator’s Association and is wholly dedicated to the conservation and lasting protection of the Galapagos Islands.
Travel Tips
I recently signed up for Spanish lessons. I’ve been meaning to study Spanish for almost 30 years now, but for some reason, it was always one of those things that fell to the bottom of my priority list. That is, until now. My enrollment in the class was inspired by a trip to Antarctica in March.
Nature & Wildlife
They slide on their bellies across the snow, congregate on icebergs and seem to fly through freezing water in search of fish. That’s how most people picture penguins, in Antarctica. The southernmost continent has the most penguins of any region in the world, but it’s not the only place where you’ll find the tuxedoed bird.

What is your ideal way to explore the Galapagos Islands? Is it to kayak against the tide, warming your muscles as you cruise past lava rocks covered in marine iguanas? Or carefully photograph every marquis species that left Charles Darwin wide eyed? Or snorkel among green turtles and sea lions?
Videos
I had the pleasure of meeting traveler Richard Jacobs during a trip to Churchill, Canada, to see polar bears. A great conversationalist, considerate environmentalist and fine travel companion, Jacobs also proved to be a talented photographer and videographer; we even published one of his photos in the 2014-15 WWF-NHA travel catalog.

A friend recently sent me an article called “21 Strange Animals You Didn’t Know Exist,” and I was shocked that I hadn’t heard of one animal on the list! The article calls it a round-up of strange animals, but I think these are some of mother nature’s greatest masterpieces.
