EXPLORE THE GALAPAGOS

 * By Susan K. Lewis and David Levin
 * Posted 10.26.09
 * NOVA

The Galapagos Islands, a remote archipelago off the coast of Ecuador, may be the
birthplace of our scientific understanding of evolution. Charles Darwin, who put
the Galapagos on the map, pointed to them as the "origin of all my views." In
this multimedia feature, get a sense of their extraordinary animals and
landscapes through panoramic photos, video, and audio. And trace Darwin's
journey to see how the islands sparked his thinking about evolution.

Launch Interactive

With a multimedia map, see the islands as they are today and learn how they
inspired Darwin.
