Description
The Galapagos Islands are a unique and fascinating destination for armchair adventurers. Located in the Pacific Ocean, off the equator, this chain of volcanic islands is home to an incredible array of species that have evolved in isolation.
Some of these remarkable animals include the marine iguana, blue-footed booby, magnificent frigatebird, and giant Galapagos tortoise. The latter can live for over a hundred years, making it one of the longest-living animals on record.
This book features eighty illustrations and a detachable fold-out map, complete with four photographs on the back. It's an engaging introduction to the natural history of these remarkable islands, which have played a significant role in our understanding of evolution.
