EDITORS COMMENTS
Rockin' the Breeding Season: Marine Iguanas with a Sun Halo!". In this print by Tui De Roy, we witness a truly extraordinary sight on Floreana Island in the Galapagos. A group of male marine iguanas, donning their vibrant breeding coloration, are perched confidently on rocks amidst crashing waves and salty ocean spray. But what makes this image even more magical is the celestial touch above them – a stunning sun halo that seems to bless these reptilian rockstars! The halo encircles the radiant sun like a spiritual symbol, adding an ethereal quality to an already mesmerizing scene. These marine iguanas, belonging to the species Amblyrhynchus cristatus, are not your average lizards. They have adapted remarkably well to their unique habitat and lifestyle as they dive into the Pacific Ocean for food. Their distinctive appearance and behavior make them true icons of the Galapagos Islands. However, it's important to remember that these incredible creatures are also endangered. As inhabitants of this biodiversity hotspot face increasing threats from human activities and climate change, capturing moments like this becomes all the more precious. So let us cherish this remarkable photograph as a reminder of both nature's beauty and its fragility. May it inspire us all to protect our planet's wonders so future generations can continue marveling at such breathtaking sights.
