About This Item

Ready for the trip

The Galápagos Islands (Spanish name: Archipiélago de Colón or Islas Galápagos) are an archipelago made up of 13 main volcanic islands, 6 smaller islands, and 107 rocks and islets. The very first island is thought to have formed between 5 and 10 million years ago, a result of tectonic activity. The youngest islands, Isabela and Fernandina, are still being formed, with the most recent volcanic eruption in 2005. The Galápagos archipelago is politically part of Ecuador, a country in northwestern South America. The islands are distributed around the equator, 965 kilometres (about 600 miles) west of Ecuador (recently found to have 3 volcanos in the center island, all of them active)(0° N 91° W). They are famed for their vast number of endemic species and the studies by Charles Darwin that led to his theory of evolution by natural selection.

De 10 island explorers zijn inmiddels zo'n anderhalf jaar onderweg. Sommige hebben het goed gedaan, anderen wat minder:

2 hebben hun doel bereikt :)
3 zijn kwijtgeraakt :(
2 zijn nog steeds in nederland :(
3 zijn in het buitenland onderweg

Aan de pagina van deze travelbug is een lijstje toegevoegd waarop de actuele stand van alle island explorers te zien is.

The Island explorers are on the road now for about one and a half year. Some did well, others not:

2 reached their goal :)
3 got lost :(
2 are still in the netherlands :(
3 are on the road abroad

I've added a list to the travelbug page so you can see where the rest of the island explorers are hanging out.

We'll leave you here then up high on the Kandel. It is quite busy here (see pictures) so you'll probably leave this place soon enough.
