		<description><![CDATA[Not surprisingly, the term “Galapagos fauna” may conjure a slew of archetypal images: gargantuan tortoises, exotic sea creatures and of course, Darwin’s beloved finches. But what about the island’s more elusive populations like, say, the Galapagos penguins? What might appear a paradox is, in fact, a veritable reality. Despite the archipelago’s location atop the equator, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=galapagoscruises.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6464768&amp;post=53&amp;subd=galapagoscruises&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
