Glorious Galapagos update from Ms. Gulati:
The National Geographic- Lindblad expedition exceeded my expectations in every possible way. The Galapagos islands are stunning and the abundance of terrestrial and marine wildlife is astounding. It was so fun to watch iguanas laze in the sun, sea lions play on the beach, birds curiously come to inspect my toes, visit the nesting sites for several species of birds, walk with giant tortoises, snorkel with manta rays and so much more! Visiting this unique place has deepened my understanding & appreciation of the working of the natural world. Most importantly, this beautiful place has generated awe, more hope, and continued commitment to care for our environment.
I had an opportunity to share some of my experiences and pictures with the TL community. I will continue to embed and share my learnings with students and teachers. Here is the video created by NG videographers and photographers on the expedition. This 30 minute video captures the highlights. Catch a special appearance at about 24 mts into the video. :)
