#PhotoOfTheDay: An Eruption for #Galápagos Iguanas

A volcano on #Fernandina, an uninhabited island dense with wildlife, is lighting up the night sky with the glow of lava.

On March 7, the OLI (Operational Land Imager) on Landsat 8 captured this image of lava as it spilled down the 1,476-meter (4,843-foot) peak.

Sorry but I meant to include this photograph to the previous toot.

With those wings it's got no change of getting airborne!

The incredibly rare endemic Mangrove Finch (Camarhynchus petechia) very, very, very occasionally has occurred here but not such luck 😞
