As we started our very first expedition on board National Geographic Gemini, we began our first full day on Rábida Island, a two-cinder cone island comprised of a high iron-oxide pyroclastic material.
Early in the morning, we had a wet landing and continued to explore the island, with its beautiful landscape of green leaves with white and yellow flowers. We also had the opportunity to see and photograph flamingos.
Later in the afternoon, we navigated to Puerto Egas located on Santiago Island, full of mystery and history. Accompanied by a humid rain, we swam and snorkeled along the beach. We finished our day with a beautiful walk full of wildlife encounters along Santiago’s intertidal zone.
