George's Galapagos

Joey and I arrived via LAN airlines on the island of Baltra, Galapagos, Ecuador on Sunday, June 24, 2012 at 11:50 AM.

Lonesome George, the icon of the Galapagos and the last of his subspecies Chelonoidis nigra abingdoni, died at 8 AM. 


This was certainly a sad day, but it was beautiful for his memory.

I think he'll always be a part of the islands; the extinction of his subspecies will not be the extinction of his fame.

RIP Lonesome George

Now maybe you are not so lonesome.
