This presentation tells the previously untold story of how prolonged La Niña conditions in the tropical Pacific affected the fates of German and Austrian expatriate settlers involved in the sensational “Galapagos Affair” of the 1930s. The settlers’ bizarre intrigues and struggles to endure on Floreana Island in the Galapagos archipelago were chronicled in a 1936 memoir by one of the survivors entitled “Satan Came to Eden”, which served as the basis for a 2013 Hollywood documentary by the same name. We use a century-long atmospheric reanalysis and other data sources to describe how an extended La Niña-induced drought during 1933-35 influenced the human drama that unfolded on Floreana islan
