Virtual Program

The Galápagos are one of the world's most isolated archipelagos.  Approximately 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, this collection of volcanic islands are a nature lover's dream.  Through the process of natural selection, the Galápagos are teaming with endemic species found nowhere else on earth.  Join Scott Santino, a Mass Audubon Education Manager and Teacher Naturalist, for a virtual tour across many of the larger islands and learn about Giant Tortoises, Marine Iguanas, Flightless Cormorants, Darwin's Finches, and penguins swimming in Pacific waters along the equator.  Scott led trips to the Galápagos to interpret the islands' bird life in 2018 and 2019.
