Notes
Most frequently seen between Fernandina and Isabela Islands are the magnificent migrating humpback whales and other whales. The Cromwell Current, also known as the Pacific Equatorial Undercurrent, which flows from west to east along the equator and brings cooler water rich in nutrients, strikes the western islands of the archipelago. The northernmost part of the archipelago's Darwin and Wolf Islands are renowned for their whale-spotting opportunities.
