Ecuador 2003: By bus from Quito, Ecuador to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
...........................................................

Pinnacle Rock. This point has many names but they all refer to this famous Galapagos view. The small bay on the right may be about 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the one on the left, which receives cold upwelling waters from the south. The warmer northern bay (left in the picture) is great for snorkeling, while the cooler southern bay is chock full of sharks!
