Puerto Ayora Albatross, Ecuador, 1999

Photograph by Stuart Franklin

"Imagine Puerto Ayora without fishing and tourist boats and that concrete albatross [foreground], and you get a picture of the pristine South American islands Charles Darwin visited in 1835. But the picture has since been developed."

—From "Galápagos: Paradise in Peril," April 1999, National Geographic magazine
