Why You Need To Check Out The Galapagos Islands
1. Named after giant tortoises, The Galapagos are a
collection of volcanic islands that are located near the
equator. They offer visitors a look at some of the most
incredible and unique wildlife anywhere in the world. If
you are going to be traveling to the amazing Galapagos
Islands you will first need to obtain a valid United States
passport. If your passport has expired, you can go online
and find a reputable passport agency that can assist you
with a passport renewal. Once you have your new
passport, you can begin to plan your Galapagos Island
vacation.
3. Unlike in the past, today it is required that all Americans
who are traveling internationally have their own individual
passports. If you do not have your own individual passport
you will not be allowed to travel outside of the country. It
is vital that you keep your United States passport up to
date with all the correct information and keep it stored in
a safe location. Unlike years ago, even infants and children
now need their own American passport if they wish to
accompany their parents on an overseas vacation.
5. When Darwin traveled aboard the HMS Beagle to The
Galapagos Islands he was intent on learning about the
unique habitat and what it could teach us about species. It
turned out that his studies on the islands were some of
the most important scientific observations of all time. His
book, Origin Of Species, was and continues to be one of
the most highly regarded scientific works of all time. In it,
Darwin explains how species adapt and evolve through
natural selection. Anyone who is interested in this subject
must read this incredible book by Charles Darwin.
7. The Galapagos Islands although geographically young,
have an extensive history. Many explorers, pirates, and
misguided ships have ventured to the Galapagos. There is
evidence that people settled in the Galapagos before the
Spanish took it, however, it does not appear that they
stayed long. The population of the island was estimated to
be around 25,000 in 2006. The Charles Darwin Foundation
founded in 1959 has been heavily involved in the ongoing
research and conservation of The Galapagos Islands. In
1986 the ocean surrounding the islands was declared a
marine reserve, making it the second largest in
comparison with The Great Barrier Reef in Australia. The
archipelago is also a whale sanctuary and ta UNESCO
World Heritage Site as well as a biosphere reserve.
9. These Islands are not your typical Spring Break
destinations. There are not any night clubs or expensive
hotels that you can stay in while in town. However, the
best part about traveling to the Galapagos are all of the
amazing things that can be seen in its natural settings. The
animals are used to humans so you can get up close and
personal with species. You may even cross paths with a
Giant Tortoise who also met Charles Darwin when he
made his famous voyage. The true experience of the
Galapagos Islands is getting to view the incredible wildlife
and the scenic natural surroundings of the islands.
