I’m writing this week’s Photography News from what may be the most exotic place imaginable. At this very moment, I’m roughly a thousand kilometers from the South American mainland, aboard a speeding boat whose deck shudders as it leaps across the waves. The keel slicing through the dark gray surface of the Pacific throws towering sprays of water high into the air. Off the starboard side, equatorial sunlight breaks through distant rain showers, painting a magnificent rainbow across the horizon. Far behind us, Isabela Island and the small Cuatro Hermanos archipelago have already disappeared. But off the port side, some 15 kilometers away, the outlines of another volcanic island—Santa Cruz—are beginning to emerge from the bluish haze. Yes, you guessed correctly: I’m writing from the middle of a living textbook of evolutionary biology—the Galápagos Islands.

I was expecting, at best, maybe a grass snake, which isn’t too hard to spot here in the damp grass near the creek. Still half-asleep, I asked, “Does it have those yellow crescent-shaped patches behind its head?” The answer I got next woke me up instantly. “No, it doesn’t. It has a zigzag line on its back.”
