Galapagos Islands - an archipelago of volcanic islands located close to the equator in the Pacific Ocean, about 1000 km. from the South American continent. They belong to Ecuador.

There has developed a population of extraordinary animals and a large number of endemic species, aided by the extreme isolation of the islands and the surrounding marine reserve, located at the confluence of three ocean currents. This place has attracted the attention of Charles Darwin in 1835 during a trip around the world on board the "Beagle". His observation of the flora and fauna of the Galapagos Islands led scientists to the development of the famous theory of evolution by natural selection.
