Rocas Bainbridge, Galapagos
From series “Majestic and Spectacular Craters and Crater Lakes”
Galapagos Islands are rich in unique natural sights. Not far from Santiago Island is the strange crater Rocas Bainbridge. This is an incredibly beautiful tiny funnel island that is bathed from all sides by the sea. In the center of the island is the fabulous blue lake.
The crater lake is salty. Its fantastic color is due to the high mineral concentration. Although the island seems quite lifeless, you can still find some vegetation on it. In the salt lake grow the rare species of the water plants, the graceful flamingos here approaching.
