(2023·黄冈三模)Dozens of sea turtles swim past as I dive.Suddenly a diver cuts me off.Then another.“Hey！” I think.“Watch where you're going！” Then I realize: These aren't divers.They are sea lions! The creatures blow bubbles at me and the group of 11 kids I'm on vocations with, hitting us slightly on our backs.To not bother them much, we tear ourselves away from the wonderland.
We take this trip to the Galapagos Islands, a group of tropical islands crossing the equator.Our hotel is a boat called the Eclipse that has a pool.Humans aren't allowed to live on most of the islands.The only way people can experience the magic of this place and meet animals on all the islands is by “panga”．“Our small motorboat is more important than the Eclipse.It's very safe，” says a local guide, Fielsch.Lack of human threat makes the animals friendly.“They don't know enough to be scared of humans.” Our group experience that firsthand.When we return after our diving adventure, we find sea lions lying next to our backpacks! Walking along the sand, we see more wildlife: seals, red crabs, orcas.
The following morning, we reach Fernandina Island, known for its volcano.Flightless birds called cormorants build nests on the rocks.Nearby are Galapagos penguins.Averaging about 19 inches in height, they're the second smallest species of penguin in the world.“The Galapagos are so curious，” says 12-year-old Harry.“You've got penguins living far from the frozen South Pole, and birds that don't fly！”
As we ride back, six penguins stand like soldiers, seeming to say goodbye.It's our last day; none of us wants to leave this place.We know this trip has been a milestone for us.A marked shift in our attitudes towards the natural world is underway.“The Galapagos Islands seem to break the world's rules，” says Harry.“More than ever, I'm interested in saving the environment.These animals truly need our care，” his sister Hannah adds.
