Although the Galápagos Islands lie just below the equator, a deep cold-water upwelling makes the waters around the islands extremely rich in sea-life.  This provides a valuable food source for a wide range of sea birds. These include several species of boobies (blue-footed, red-footed and masked), waved albatross, [[frigatebird]]s, lava herons and the most northerly species of penguin. Inland lagoons support a colony of pink flamingoes. The Galápagos hawk is one of a few raptors that live on the islands.
