Description

Armchair adventurers can set sail for the remote Galapagos Islands and learn about the abnormal and unique animals that live there. 

The Galapagos Islands are a chain of volcanic islands situated on either side of the equator in the Pacific Ocean. The isolated location of the islands has allowed a vast collection of species to develop that are original to every island, such as the marine iguana, the blue-footed booby, the magnificent frigatebird and naturally the giant Galapagos tortoise, which may live to be over one hundred years old. Studied by Charles Darwin throughout his historic voyage on the HMS Beagle, the island life contributed to his groundbreaking theory of evolution. Lately the islands are a well-liked tourist destination and a UNESCO World Heritage website online.

This book, a part of the New York Times best-selling series, is enhanced by eighty illustrations and a detachable fold-out map complete with four photographs on the back.
