Sounds primeval, though I’m sure it’s actually something boring like a jet ski passing overhead.
- elmomle 3y ago> Green thinks it’s unlikely that the sound came from a boat; Darwin Island is an extremely remote location, where few other boats venture That said, it does sound quite a lot like a motor!

- pfannkuchen 3y agoFor all the crazy things the US does foreign policy wise, I really wish they would just annex the Galápagos Islands, by threat of force if necessary. They are really important to preserve as a physical reference piece for Darwin’s work. And yes, obviously the force can’t be directed at the islands as that would defeat the point. I’m picturing the Navy surrounding it by surprise and announcing the annexation.
