EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Galapagos Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its remarkable wildlife and untouched natural beauty. In this image, we see a majestic Giant Tortoise (Geochelone nigra) at the Galapaguera de Cerro Colorado, a tortoise breeding center on Isla San Cristobal. The giant tortoise stands tall in its muddy habitat, showcasing its impressive size and distinctive turtle shell. Its profile is highlighted against the backdrop of lush greenery and earthy tones. With eyes looking away into the distance, it exudes an air of tranquility and wisdom that only comes from centuries of existence. As one of nature's most iconic creatures, this wild animal represents not only the unique species found in Ecuador's South America but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these precious habitats. The Galapagos Islands have long been recognized for their extraordinary biodiversity and evolutionary significance. Through Michael DeFreitas/Robert Harding's lens, we are transported into a world where time seems to stand still – where ancient giants roam freely amidst volcanic landscapes. This photograph encapsulates both the raw power and delicate balance between humans and nature that makes this corner of the Earth so special. It serves as an invitation to explore further into this enchanting realm teeming with life yet untouched by human interference.
