The volcanic activity which formed these islands and which is ongoing, has helped form strange landscapes. These, together with the endemic animals and plants, create an utterly unique treasury of natural heritage. The absence of large mammals has allowed birds and reptiles to flourish and the strict controls placed on visitors, has ensured protection for the fragile environment. A mecca for nature lovers and scientists alike it is very much a photographer's paradise as the author's remarkable images testify.
