Show Notes

Located almost 600 miles west of the coast of Ecuador, The Galapagos Islands are one of the few places on Earth that remain largely untouched and unchanged by man. With a population of about 30,000 living predominantly on three of the 127 volcanic islands, the volcanic archipelago is best known for its contributions to Darwin’s study of evolution. The flora and fauna of the island includes many species that are found only in the Galapagos including marine iguanas, giant tortoises and of course, the blue-footed boobies! Elizabeth recently had the chance to explore the Galapagos with Celebrity Cruises and she is here tonight to share her experiences.
