O GALAPAGOS: WITH AN EXTENSION TO PERU January 8-17, 2016 | Escorted by Oberlin Associate Professor of Biology Roger Laushman Back by popular demand! Located 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador and bisected by the equator lies one of nature’s most enchanting destinations—the Galapagos Islands. The Galapagos originally found notoriety in the mid-1800s, when Charles Darwin formulated his theories of evolution from his observations on the unique and plentiful fauna of the region. Journey with us as we embark on an eco-adventure to explore this archipelago and discover wildlife unlike any other on earth! We will have the unique opportunity for extraordinarily close encounters with sea lions, penguins, tortoises, fur seals, and many kinds of seabirds. We will travel aboard Lindblad Expeditions’ National Geographic Endeavour. Join us for this remarkable opportunity to travel with fellow alumni and mingle with the same friendly and frolicsome creatures that inspired Darwin over 150 years ago! Brochure available.
