Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos Archipelago lies on the equator approximately 1000 km west of Ecuador. It is comprised of a chain of volcanic seamounts, some of which, resting on a broad platform, have breached the surface to become islands. This website is organized into various physical geographic aspects of the islands and the region.
