This lens was inspired by a blog entry from Seth Godin called The Galapagos Post Office which is a must read. Trust me it's worth it. The second inspiration for this post is my high school AP Biology teacher whose dream it was to go to The Galapagos Islands to study. She always made referance to this area in her teachings. So here is your guided tour of The Galapagos Islands! The proceeds from this lens are donated to Earthjustice.

Charles Darwin and the Galapagos Islands
Charles Darwin's very radical ideas on the structure of the living world transformed biology from a collection of curious but disconnected facts into a vigorous and unified science. His theory of evolution by natural selection originated during a five-year voyage around the world as a naturalist on board HMS Beagle under the command of captain Robert FitzRoy.

    Wow, the Galapagos Islands look absolutely beautiful. I've never been there but I have heard they're a natural wonder so I listed them on my squidoo lens of "100 things to do before you die". I've lensrolled you to that lens.
