An Albino Darwin's Finch was seen in Galapagos Islands on the border of the Sierra Negra Volcano on Isabela Island.
The Excursionists were very excited about this sighting that happened while doing the excurcion the volcano Sierra Negra organized by
Nature Galapagos & Ecuador.
"Albino animals are extremely rare and unusual. They have all the characteristics of others of their species except they are all white in color. Not one inch
of their natural coloring comes through as their bodies are unable to
produce a pigment known as melanin. Melanin creates the normal
pigmentation and coloring in an animal’s skin, fur or scales. This lack of melanin generally results in the animal looking bleached all over, appearing white or pink.
Being white doesn’t mean an animal is albino. The true test is in the
eye coloration. All albino animals have pink/red eyes whereas white
animals with blue eyes are called leucistic, which means they may have a
reduced amount of pigmentation
in relation to a normal specimen of their species but it is not as
severe as albinism. We have some of both pictured here.
Albinism is an inherited trait and is passed from adult to young. An albino offspring is formed from a specific
combination
of genes coming together in any species. Albinos are rare because the
genes which cause albinism are recessive and rarely occur." Source:

The Galapagos Islands are within the Nazca plate, one of the many tectonic plates that form the earth, the same underwater volcanoes that form the same ridges that form the highest peaks where they break the ocean surface and became in the several islands that make up this archipelago. 
The sea birds, for example, lay their eggs and rest on land, but feed at sea. The same activity is applied in sea lions, marine iguanas, and even plants in coastal areas that depend on healthy marine environment.
It was important to include the marine ecosystem management level within their protected areas in Ecuador. In 1986 he pled to this resource as a protected area, and became a Marine Reserve in 1998 was declared by UNESCO as Natural Heritage of Humanity. 
When we submerge under these waters we must remember the respect, the regulation and sharing of explorer focused on preserving this marine resource. That is what we do on earth, is reflected in the water of the islands and ocean currents that determine the biological characteristics of these places, the Galapagos Islands do not have a specific climate throughout the year. This is the tropical destination with greater temperature changes in their water. This physical fact allows species to live in tropical and subtropical regions.
In the Galapagos Islands there are subtropical species such as penguins and sea lions that swim with tropical parrot fish. You will enjoy temperatures near 20 * C. The marine reserve has a large percentage of living things on the island.
Most facilities offer the tourist the opportunity to enjoy the animal kingdom a service that includes masks, snorkels, fins, floating vest, etc.
