EXPLORER, from the Galapagos to Antarctica
To a scientist it doesn’t get much better than traveling to one of the most productive ecosystems in the world. Species of plants and animals exist in the Galapagos that can be seen nowhere else on earth.
A few years after being there, I was in London at the Natural History Museum, Darwin Centre. I walked right up to glass jars of specimens Darwin collected during his trip to the Galapagos in 1835. The labels were written in his own hand. I felt part of a continuum of scientists searching to understand the natural world.
I’ve set foot on every continent on earth.
From the icy shores of Antarctica to the warm plateaus of Uganda, where I poked my head out of the sunroof of a Volkswagon van to take in the wildlife. At that time humans were just the observers and not a force on the landscape.
I can tell you about the time I was charged by a rhino, but I’m just as passionate talking science. Because science is a universal language, one that is understood wherever you go.
I was right next to the photographer when this Humpback whale breached
