A Land Beyond Xpectations
Over one hundred fifty years ago, a man wrote about his quest that took
him to a place where he would discover how life evolved thousands of
years ago. Travel with us as we follow in his footsteps and discover a
land that is inhabited by species that can be found nowhere else on
earth.
Come with us on our Celebrity Xpeditions adventure that begins in Quito,
Ecauador where we had the opportunity to visit local sites including
the Equatorial Line Monument. Here you can stand on a line between the
two hemispheres.
Our ultimate destination is an archipelago of volcanic islands near the equator
in the Pacific Ocean. We are met by a team of naturalists who transport
us by Zodiacs to our waiting ship, Celebrity Xpedition.
Celebrity Xpedition recently had their license suspended as we had reported (Lobsters Keep Cruise Ship from Entering National Park) and have now resumed sailing (Celebrity Xpedition to Resume Galapagos Sailings). We are assembling past articles, posting images, and adding new material in this diary so that you can easily follow our complete adventure. If you have any unanswered questions, we'd be happy to answer them and also help plan your own unforgettable adventure.
