The Galapagos Islands and its beleaguering waters form an Ecuadoran state, a national park, and a natural marine reserve. The central language on the islands is Spanish. The islands have a populace of around 23,000. The islands is geologically younger and far-famed for their broad variety of endemic species, which have been studied by Darwin right through the voyage of the Beagle. His observances and collections bestowed to the origin of Charles Darwin's theory of organic evolution by natural selection.
The 1st crude seafaring chart of the islands was handled by the pirate Ambrose Cowley in 1684. He named the distinctive islands after a number of his fella pirates or after the English nobles who helped the privateers man cause. More lately, the Ecuadoran govt gave a lot of the islands Spanish names. Although the Spanish names are authentic, many users (particularly ecological investigators) hold to use the older English names, principally as the ones were the names used while Charles Darwin visited.
When young and curious Darwin went there, he was completely astonished by the wild life and plants on the islands, the flora and fauna he encountered in the Galapagos were one of a kind, he had never seens animals like that any where else. It also led to the rise of one of the greatest scientific theories, the 'theory of evolution by natural selection'. Darwin has also written in great detail about the Galapagos islands and his finding in this group of islands. Now a days lot of tourists are visiting this breathtaking group of isles. The Temperature is usually normal all through the year.
