Where are the Galapagos Islands? is written by Megan Stine, a great author, and illustrated by John Hinderliter. This book covers a wide range of topics about the Galapagos Islands on how the islands were formed by volcanic eruptions and how the most amazing and marvelous creatures came to live there. They aroused much curiosity and interest among people around the world when Charles Darwin visited the islands. The Galapagos Islands and the animals living there inspired him to develop the theory of evolution. Did you know that humans never came and lived on the islands before modern times because there was no fresh drinking water? The islands are named after the giant tortoises whom Brother Tomas, one of the first people to visit the Galapagos Islands, called Galapagos. Today there are strict rules about how many people visit or work in the Galapagos Islands. Visitors are allowed only in certain parts of the islands, and they are not allowed to take natural souvenirs like seashells from the beaches or sea cucumbers from the seabed while scuba diving. As in other parts of the world, pollution and climate change beset the ecosystem of the islands.
