Summary
They are a living laboratory, a geological conveyor belt that has given birth to and seen the death of may species of plants and animals. Nowhere else on the Earth are the twin processes of creation and extinction of species so apparent.
A marine biologist from the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History leads this astonishing expedition to the Galapagos islands, a world that is still relatively new and evolving. Descending to depths of 3,000 feet, the scientists find a window into the past and a frontier for exploration.
