Everybody gathered in the Conservation Center for a short talk shortly before dusk, and we all walked out to the end of the road and waited while Conservation Serivce people went out onto the beach with flashlights to find nesting turtles. It didn't take long.
We were on Ascension Island, South Atlantic Ocean. From here, incredibly, these green turtles found their way all the way over to Brazil, and then came back to lay eggs on this little tiny speck of land in the middle of the ocean. How did they do that?
Here's a really fascinating article on the lastest thinking.
See this photo and others in the Ascension Island Gallery at EarthPhotos.com.
I think that it is nice to travel to Brazil for holiday, there are quite many places to visit there. Nice post though, thanks.

Maybe not by turtleback, though. Thanks for coming by!
