[[Image:Tortoise.jpg|thumb|Santa Cruz giant tortoise]] The '''Galapagos Islands''' is an archipelago of volcanic islands, situated in the [[Pacific Ocean]] 600 miles to the west of [[Ecuador]]. They are note for their unique animal and bird life which led the naturalist [[Charles Darwin]] to formulate his [[Theory of Evolution]]. The name ''Galapagos'' derives from the [[Spain|Spanish]] word for saddle, as the shape of some of the indigenous species of [[tortoise]] resembled a saddle.
