    The weather is regularly influenced by the El Niño events, which occur every 3 to 7 years and bring warmer sea surface temperatures, a rise in sea level, greater wave action, and a depletion of nutrients in the water. [26]

    Temperature of surface water also influences reproduction as they prefer temperatures between 17 and 22 °C (63 and 72 °F) to incubate, above 25 °C (77 °F) causes their nests to fail. [17] Incubation takes 38–40 days, with both parents incubating.

  4. Academy Bay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Bay

    Wildlife includes sea lions, and lava flows come up to the edge of the water. Scuba diving is particularly popular, as water temperatures remain comfortable year round (18–25 °C) and visibility is generally excellent (10–20 m). Academy Bay is an example of a graben structure: a down-dropped block bound by faults.

    At cold temperatures their muscles are less efficient, but their relatively high temperature preference is also related to the optimal temperature for digesting the algal food in their gut. [27] [50] As an ectothermic animal, the marine iguana can spend only a limited time in cold water diving for algae. Afterwards it basks in the sun to warm up.

  7. Daphne Major - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daphne_Major

    Daphne Major is a volcanic island just north of Santa Cruz Island and just west of the Baltra Airport in the Archipelago of Colón, commonly known as the Galápagos Islands. [1] [2] It consists of a tuff crater, devoid of trees, whose rim rises 120 m (394 ft) above the sea.

  8. English: The Cromwell Current stirs up the ocean on the west (leeward) side of the Galapagos, and brings cool, nutrient-rich water up from the ocean depths (Upwelling). The nutrients nourish phytoplankton, which form the base of the ocean’s food web.

  9. Galápagos sea lion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galápagos_sea_lion

    Injuries and scars from attacks are often visible. During El Niño events, occurring when the water temperature pattern changes in the Pacific, [14] sardine populations either die or migrate, and sea lions dive deeper to feed on lantern fish. [15] The reduction in food availability during El Niño leads to sea lion population declines. [14]
