Pacific Equatorial Countercurrent

West of the Galápagos Islands, the eastern tropical Pacific is traversed by the eastward Equatorial Countercurrent. The islands entered European records in 1535, when Tomás de Berlanga's ship drifted there during a voyage from Panama to Peru. Currents and variable winds were powerful influences on sailing in these waters.
