An Introduction to the Galapagos Islands

Galapagos Islands holidays usually maintain a wildlife theme, as these islands are most famous for their unusual inhabitants (both animals and plants). Nature lovers will be in awe of this environmental wonder, and can spend hours exploring the islands both on land and on cruises between the islands.
This extraordinary volcanic archipelago is made up of 13 primary islands, 6 smaller islands and 107 islets and rock formations. The oldest of these islands dates back some 10 million years, and because these islands are situated on an active volcanic bed known as the Galapagos hotspot, they continue to form today. Geography lovers on Galapagos island tours will be fascinated by this archipelago, straddling the equator and still growing.
The Primary Islands
The island of Baltra is located in the centre of the Galapagos. It is small and flat, and was the first island to have an airport. For a long time this airport served all travellers on Galapagos Islands holidays, but today there is another airport in the archipelago that shares the traffic. This is a fairly barren and dry island, but it has a unique beauty and interest in its own right. Here you will see desert-like vegetation such as the prickly pear cactus, salt bush and the palo santo tree.
If you’re after an island with a little more life, Española may be a better base for your Galapagos Islands holiday. At 3.5 million years old, this island has established a diverse population of fauna and flora. It has a particularly fascinating marine iguana population, where these great reptiles actually change colour during their breeding season. Another animal that is of particular interest here is the waved albatross. There are a number of steep cliffs on the island which these birds use as a runway as they take off to their ocean feeding areas.
If the thought of spotting the waved albatross on Española tickles your fancy, you should be sure to incorporate spending some time on North Seymour into your Galapagos tour. This island is literally teeming with birdlife, with particularly healthy populations of blue-footed boobies and swallow-tailed gulls. As is the case with Española, North Seymour has a number of high cliffs. These cliffs provide the ideal nesting ground for birds, and swallow-tailed gulls and tropicbirds have made these cliffs there home.
Some Minor Islands
While you may not have the opportunity to visit all the smaller islands on you Galapagos Islands holiday, they are still interesting and worth mentioning. Daphne Major, for example, is a small, tree-less island which, though it may be lacking in vegetation, has a large bird population. Access to this island is restricted and visits are controlled by the national parks. This interesting little island was the setting for a 20 year study of Darwin Finches, and is also the home of bird species such as the red-billed tropicbird, the masked booby and the Galapagos martin.
A smaller island with richer flora is South Plaza. Beautiful prickly pear cactus trees line the shorelines and the sesuvium ground vegetation is remarkable. During the rainy season, the sesuvium is a rich green colour which changes to pretty oranges and purples during drier weather. While the island only has an area of 0.13km, its beautiful flora makes it a popular stop for Galapagos Islands tours.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – The Ever Growing and Ever More Dangerous Thelma and Louise National Debt
Another distressing Associated Press article on October 15, 2010 reviewed the latest and depressing news on out of control government spending. According to the article, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is estimating that the Federal government deficit for the 2010 budget year will total .29 TRILLION. This is on top of the Federal budget deficit of .4 TRILLION from 2009.
Other highlights/lowlights from the article and the mathematical implications include the following:
The administration is predicting that the 2011 budget deficit will rise to .4 TRILLION. Thus, in the first three years that Obama has been President, the federal government has overspent its revenue stream by an astonishing .0 TRILLION.
If you look at the annual budget deficit numbers from the CBO website, you will see that the cumulative Federal government budget deficit from 1968 until 2008 was about TRILLION. Thus, in just three years, the Obama administration will have deficit spent about 80% of what the government had deficit spent in the past forty years combined. Unless the economy improves dramatically, the Obama administration is likely to equal or exceed the Federal deficit spending in just four years that occurred over the past forty years.
With about 115 million U.S. households in the country today, this year’s .29 budget deficit burden comes out to just over ,000 per household. in other words, at some point in time, every U.S. household will, on average, have to pony up over ,000 to get this year’s national debt back to zero.
But the ,000 is for just one year of Obama deficits. His administration will have run up about TRILLION in debt in the first three years. This means that the first three years of Obama administration will cost the average American household about ,000 to pay off in the future. This is ,000 that each household will not have to spend on new cars, bigger houses, more services, and other economy expanding activities
But wait! There’s More! The Obama administration is predicting that the budget deficit for the next decade will be another .47 TRILLION of debt. Combine this number with the TRILLION total discussed above and the per household cost comes to about 8,000 per household.
The article goes on to discuss the expiring Bush tax cuts. Every politician wants to renew the tax cuts for those making less than 0,000 but the Democrats do not want to let the tax cuts expire for those making more than 0,000 a year. They claim that these increased taxes are needed to offset the deficit spending of the political class and that these increased taxes would bring in about 0 billion over ten years. Two things here. First, do we really think that the current crop of politicians has enough self discipline to devote all of this 0 billion to debt reduction? I doubt it,
