One thousand kilometres off the coastline of Ecuador lie the world famous collection of islands known as the Galapagos Islands.

Described as Darwin’s ‘living laboratory of evolution’, the thirteen main volcanic islands and dozens of rocky isles are one of the most important ecological regions on Planet Earth. Located at the confluence of three major ocean currents, Galapagos have been described as a 'melting pot' of marine species and ongoing seismic and volcanic activity continues to reflect the processes that formed the islands.
  
A large range of endemic species can be found on the islands of Floreana, Genovesa, Española, Seymour Norte, Plazas, Santa Fé and Isabela. Santa Cruz Island is home to the famous Charles Darwin Research Station.
