Nature
Compared to the diversity of life found on the mainland, relatively few species have managed to make the 960km journey to the Galapagos. But it's the islands' small number of species in isolation that has been the subject of such fascination for generations of scientists. Like a self-contained puzzle, life on the Galapagos can be unravelled in a way impossible for the tangled mass of mainland biological relationships. And as Darwin found, the lessons learnt from the Galapagos microcosm can have implications for the rest of the planet
