A Visit to the Galapagos Islands Part I

Whether you’ve already visited the enchanted Galapagos Islands or have always wanted to, in this talk we’ll look at why these islands are so interesting and so important for so many reasons. We’ll look at the geology, ecology, and even the economics and current political issues in the islands, as well as their central role in the history of science.
