The Galápagos Islands are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed around the equator in the Pacific Ocean, west of Ecuador.
The islands are geologically young and famed for their vast number of endemic species, which were studied by Charles Darwin during the voyage of the Beagle. His observations and collections contributed to the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Here are some photos of the islands' incredible residents.
