Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

The Galapagos Islands are an archipelago composed by five major islands located very near equatorial line to 972 Kilometers west of continental territory of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean. They are considered a true natural wonder of the World. The main Islands of the archipelago are Isabella, Fernandina, San Cristobal, San Salvador and Santa Cruz.

The Galapagos Islands hosts some of the most impressive wildlife of the world; but, not only because flora and fauna of the islands is so beautiful; but, also because they have evolved without human presence, therefore they are virtually fearless of human. The isolation of the islands which are far from the continental coast of Ecuador is the main reason to this unique evolution process.

They are in the planet’s surface and are great submarine geysers generated because of the geothermal energy. There are hydrothermal vents in several zones of the planet; nevertheless, the first submarine hydrothermal vents that were studied and probably the most famous are to the east of the Galapagos Islands.
