Review
By Lynda Dickson
In 2010 Susanna Ivy's dream came true when she won an international online competition. Her prize - a trip to the Galapagos Islands, an archipelago of volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Ecuador. This book is the result of that trip. It is a photographic diary of the wonders she saw. It contains over 50 stunning photos of the wildlife, the vegetation, the scenery, and the locals.
Susanna captures the essence and atmosphere of the Islands. You will be transported, if only for a little while, to a place of rare and unspoiled beauty. Let Susanna take you on a journey. You will not regret it.
