🐢 Galápagos Islands Adventure Map By National Geographic – Explore the Enchanted Isles of Evolution
Chart your journey through one of the most biologically unique places on Earth with the Galápagos Islands Adventure Map by National Geographic. Combining cartographic precision with rich natural and historical context, this waterproof travel map is a must-have for adventurers, naturalists, students, and anyone fascinated by the birthplace of Darwin’s theory of evolution.
Located approximately 600 miles west of mainland Ecuador, the Galápagos Archipelago sits atop the Nazca tectonic plate in the Pacific Ocean and remains one of the world’s most extraordinary and protected ecosystems.
🌋 A Journey Through Time and Nature
Discovered in 1535 by the Bishop of Panama when his ship veered off course, the Galápagos later became world-renowned following Charles Darwin’s 1835 expedition aboard the HMS Beagle. Darwin’s five-week stay inspired one of the most groundbreaking scientific theories in history: evolution by natural selection. The islands were later declared a national park in 1959 and became the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978.
This National Geographic map brings that legacy to life with:
-
🐢 Island-by-island insights, including key endemic species like the marine iguana, giant tortoise, and flightless cormorant
-
🏝️ Historical context, detailing human activity and conservation milestones across the islands
-
🌱 Visitor-relevant facts, including climate zones, trails, and protected areas
