Postcard from Galápagos #1: Marine Iguana

Sophomore Jenna Robinson wrapped up her phenomenal winter break trip with research in the Galapagos Islands. This photo is of the famous Marine Iguana! Here's Jenna's description: The only of its type on the planet, these Iguanas find their algae under the sea, diving for up to 10 minutes before crawling back to the hot volcanic rocks to warm their coldblooded bodies. These majestic dragons were more curious about us humans than cautious. They would walk right up to me and study me, trying to figure out if I was a threat or not. Too cool!
