The Galapagos sparked our understanding of evolution and adaptation 175 years ago. Now, with a National Geographic Explorer as an expert guide, discover the Galapagos anew as we go on assignment at the Holland Center to explore the groundbreaking science that’s happening with Darwin’s finches, giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and other remarkable wildlife on these islands.

The show is a journey through the remarkable natural history of the Galapagos Islands, beginning with Charles Darwin’s arrival on September 15, 1835, aboard the HMS Beagle. His observations of the islands’ unique, untouched ecosystems laid the foundation for his theory of evolution, and the islands remain a true evolutionary wonderland, where each island is home to distinct species that have evolved in isolation, untouched by humanity.
