Islas Galapagos

Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands for three weeks in Sept-Oct 1835. He observed a diverse array of reptiles and birds, which differed among closely situated islands. Contrary to popular belief, his collections were rather unsystematic, and he observed but did not make a detailed analysis of the patterns of inter-island variation of tortoises and finches until he returned home.
