The Wall of Tears is on Isabella Island, the largest of the Galapagos Islands.

Thank you! It has been a few years since I was in the Galapagos and i cannot recall where exactly each spotting was. We had also moved from island to island quite frequently.

"Wall of tears" means Isabela, which would make this Microlophus albemarlensis. - Would be great of you could note where on Galapagos you made your great spottings. As you know, Darwin convinced us that Galapagos (and other) species evolve and become different over time on different islands.
