Galapagos giant tortoise Following Darwin's footsteps in the Galapagos Islands (Examiner.com): "What better way to honor Charles Darwin’s 200 birthday and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his Origin of the Species than with a trip to the Galapagos Islands. There you can follow in the footsteps of the 26-year old naturalist, who arrived on the HMS Beagle for just five weeks in 1835 and changed the course of history."

The author recount their experiences in the Galapagos, seeing wildlife and exploring where Darwin once walked and countless visitors have been awed.
