The Galapagos Islands are famous for inspiring Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. Located 600 miles from the Ecuadorian coast, the Galapagos are of marine volcanic origin and have never been connected to a continental land mass. As a result, most of the flora, the reptiles, and the majority of resident land birds are found only in the Galapagos, many of them restricted to one or a few islands. Denny and Cecille Thompson will share images from their recent visit to this special place.
