Galapagos Islands
Like no place else on Earth, the Galapagos Islands are an
ecological wonder of biodiversity that enchant visitors lucky enough
to experience them. Charles Darwin made the Galapagos his playground
in 1835 when he arrived aboard the H.M.S. Beagle—and what
he observed and studied inspired his theories about natural selection
and shaped evolutionary science forever. See
the photo album. Galapagos trip is being offered again
in 2008.
