A blue-footed booby (Sula nebouxii) poses for a female tourist who takes the opportunity to shoot a close-up photograph of this large seabird in the Galapagos Islands (Archipiélago de Colón), a province of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of South America. English naturalist Charles Darwin made the Galapagos famous after he formulated his theory of evolution based on his visit to its 20 islands in 1835. The most popular nesting area in the world for blue-footed boobies is now the Galapagos, where they and other wildlife have been given national park protection since 1959.
