Gal\u00e1pagos Islands<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Synonymous with naturalist Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution, the Gal\u00e1pagos Islands, located about 600 miles west of continental Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean, symbolize a defining moment in the history of life on Earth and the way we see the world and ourselves. This program offers students a unique and unparalleled opportunity to experience and discover the diverse ecology of the archipelago that so enthralled Darwin and to learn about the vital conservation work being done to protect these extraordinary islands and the unique species they are home to.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
