When in the Galápagos, keep your camera ready. After

a day spent snorkeling with sea lions, Mittermeier sat

down to have a cocktail when she spotted thousands

of Sally Lightfoot crabs perched on volcanic rocks

nearby. Wildlife abound on the famous islands—but

increasingly are threatened. After photographing

the crabs, Mittermeier took a short walk to a beach.

There she saw countless strewn plastic bottles and

bags, trash that is choking the islands’—and the

planet’s—wild ecosystems.
