A blue-footed boobie stands on a rock in San Cristobal Island, January 28, 2001. As efforts to clear away the stricken, semi-submerged tanker to blame for fouling the archipelago's cristalline waters foundered, Galapagos National Park teams scoured the coastline armed with nets and cleaning materials. [Luckily however, myriad exotic species including iguanas, flightless cormorants, sea lions and the famous Galapagos giant tortoises, a mix that inspired 19th century naturalist Darwin to devise his theory of evolution, have largely escaped contamination. ]
