Galápagos Daydream
While sitting at my desk this morning a memory popped up of a 2022 visit to the Galápagos Islands. A lovely daydream indeed.
The Galápagos Islands are a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, famous for their unique and diverse wildlife, which played a pivotal role in Charles Darwin's development of the theory of evolution by natural selection. Located approximately 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, they are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a living laboratory for scientists and a captivating destination for tourists.
Charles Darwin's visit to the Galápagos Islands in 1835 on HMS Beagle was instrumental in shaping his understanding of natural selection. He observed the unique adaptations of species on different islands, particularly the variations in finch beaks and tortoise shells, which led him to develop his revolutionary theory of evolution. The islands continue to be a crucial site for scientific research on evolution and ecology.
