The Galapagos Islands are a unique island group. Travel and wildlife photographer Wolfgang Kaehler has been traveling to these islands since 1982. This app will take you on a photographic journey that any armchair traveler or visitor to the Galapagos will enjoy. Here the wildlife is flourishing because of the cold Humboldt Current, which brings nutrients from the South, and creates food for thousands of birds, mammals and reptiles. With more than 550 photos, the app will dazzle you with the beauty and the abundant wildlife of this amazing ecosystem. From dry volcanic slopes to the lush rain forests in the highlands, you will explore the Galapagos with the tips of your fingers.
