3 . Galapagos Islands: Paradise for Animals
A trip to the Galapagos Islands will be the journey of your lifetime. The Islands are a group of 12 volcanic islands and numerous islets and rocks, off the Pacific coast of Ecuador. The area of the islands is 3,086 square miles, consisting of 13 major islands, of which 5 are inhabited. The islands are hilly, rising to a height of 5,000 feet. Even though the Galapagos Islands were formed about 4 to 5 million years ago, volcanoes are still active.
The islands have been known by many different names, including the “Enchanted Islands” because of the way in which the strong and swift currents make navigation difficult. Legend has it that there are sea monsters living on the islands. They control the sea. The islands are also named Giant Land Tortoises for those giant tortoises that live there.
The Island s interesting volcanic geology, as well as its rich plants and animals have been admired and studied by numerous travelers, scientists, and naturelovers. Scientists are still faced with a mystery how such a large diversity of species could develop in a remote location like the Galapagos Islands.
Galapagos has been called “a living museum and showcase of evolution”. The Islands are famous for their unique species, which are not found elsewhere. Best known are the huge tortoise and some species of lizards.The animals on the islands influenced British nature scientist Charles Darwin’ s ideas about evolution. He visited the islands in 1830. It was here that he made the major part of his observation that led to his theories on evolution and The Origin of Species. Many scientists have since carried out research on the islands.
The Galapagos Islands are ideal for adventure activities, whether your favorite adventures are snorkeling, kayaking, hiking or others, the Galapagos has activities for everyone.
