Galapagos (DVD)

Product Description

The Galapagos archipelago is made up of thirteen main islands & more than sixty other islets, rocks & reefs, scattered over four hundred kilometres of open ocean. Sitting at a confluence of four major ocean currents, the islands are actually the summits of vast undersea volcanoes, & are steadily on the march. How has such an odd assortment of life managed to find a footing in this unruly world? Micro-climates & altitude have combined to form discrete environmental zones: perfect habitats for the islands' diverse fauna
- marine iguanas, petrels, blue-footed boobies & giant tortoises being but a famous few. Galapagos is a rare insight into an incredible landscape, a natural laboratory & an exquisite evolutionary habitat that Darwin described as a 'world within itself'. Both fragile & furious, the Galapagos is unlike any other place on earth.
