These rocky and beautiful islands are remote and unforgiving, yet home to giant tortoises, equatorial penguins, pink iguanas, and dandelion trees. Mission Galapagos uses a state-of-the-art research vessel -with floating labs, helicopters, and sonar scanners -to capture rare animals and submerged worlds.
