In the nearly two centuries since Charles Darwin visited aboard the HMS Beagle, the Galapagos Islands have continued to inspire biologists and other nature lovers. Famed as a living laboratory for evolution, the islands provide an unparalleled opportunity to get up close and personal with wildlife ranging from giant tortoises and blue-footed boobies to marine iguanas and chocolate chip sea stars. We'll discuss why the Galapagos Islands are so ecologically unique (tropical penguins?!) and how the forces of evolution continue to shape the plants and animals that call the islands home.
