Situated at the meeting of major currents, the Galapagos Islands are not tropical, but in fact they are cold. Reefs around the islands were only discovered in 1975. With the help of a local guide, the team battles rough seas and cold water to explore the reefs. They discover some flourishing reefs at Darwin Island. Part of the "Global Reef Expedition" series.
