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 [[booby|boobies]] (blue-footed, red-footed and nasca), waved [[albatross]], [[frigatebird]]s, lava [[heron]]s and the most northerly species of [[penguin]]. Inland lagoons support a colony of pink [[flamingo]]es. The Galápagos [[hawk]] is one of a few [[raptor]]s that live on the islands.
