Fear not! Physics content returns in mid-August. In the meantime: our naturalist guide Nancy points out not one but two Nazca Booby nests right along the Punta Suarez trail on Española Island. One nest is directly in the path. The other is just off the path in the bushes. Both have an adult and a fluffy chick sitting right there. Two for the price of one. Check out the video below!

Fear not! Physics content returns in mid-August. In the meantime: hiking the Punta Suarez trail on Española Island with my daughter Ryan, trailing behind the rest of the family, when marine iguanas kept showing up along the path. The Española marine iguana is also known as the Christmas Iguana for its striking red and green coloring, and they had absolutely zero interest in getting out of the way. Check out the video below!
Fear not! Physics content returns in mid-August. In the meantime: at Punta Suarez on Española Island, our naturalist guide Nancy tells us everything about the marine iguanas while the marine iguanas sit right there and listen along. Patiently. Mostly. A few of them had places to be. Check out the video below!
Fear not! Physics content returns in mid-August. In the meantime: one sea lion at Gardner Bay on Española Island decided I was worth checking out. It swam right up and started nosing around my legs and pants. Not sure what it was looking for, but it was thorough. Check out the video below!
Fear not! Physics content returns in mid-August. In the meantime: Gardner Bay on Española Island. We got in the water and the sea lions came right to us, darting around and playing. Back on the beach, a group of five or six of them just stretched out in the sun. One of the best experiences of the entire trip. Check out the video below!
Fear not! Physics content returns in mid-August. In the meantime: we visited the David Rodríguez Giant Tortoise Breeding Center on San Cristóbal Island, walked the path, checked out the young tortoises in their enclosures, and got up close with one that was about half a meter wide. These animals are incredible. Check out the video below!
Fear not! Physics content returns in mid-August. In the meantime: we were just standing there at Playa La Galapaguera on San Cristóbal and these two walked right up to us. A mama sea lion and her not-so-little pup came straight up to the camera and stayed for almost 3 minutes. These animals have zero fear of humans and it is the coolest thing. What a moment! Check out the video below!
Fear not! Physics content returns in mid-August. In the meantime, most of our group heads out on a hike at Punta Pitt on San Cristóbal Island in the Galápagos. Rugged terrain, wide open views, and a perspective on the islands that is very different from the beach. A small glimpse of what it felt like to be out on the trail in one of the most unique environments on Earth. Check out the video below!
Fear not! Physics content returns in mid-August. In the meantime, watch these brilliantly colored Sally Lightfoot Crabs navigating the rugged lava rock at Black Turtle Cove on Santa Cruz Island in the Galápagos. A vivid splash of red and orange against dark volcanic rock. A true Galápagos moment! Check out the video below!
Fear not! Physics content returns in mid-August. In the meantime, join us for an evening walk along Playa las Bachas on Santa Cruz Island in the Galápagos. White sand, calm water, and a peaceful sunset at one of the most serene beaches in the islands. Check out the video below!

Yep, I make physics videos in the hope that you can learn physics. If you are a physics teacher, I am very hopeful that you will want to use them to help flip your physics class. Archives
