Lost World Adventures The Galapagos Islands are the tips of ancient volcanoes emerging from the ocean's surface. Life has evolved separately on these islands from the rest of South America, and the animals on each island also vary from one another. Daily excursions onto the islands from the cruise ships allow you to walk among the endemic species and observe their way of life. The terrain, mostly dry and low lying, varies from cacti to mangroves. Unusual species such as the giant tortoise, Galapagos penguin, Galapagos hawk, marine iguanas and frigate birds populate the islands.
