The Galápagos Islands, inspiration of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, is considered the world’s top destination for wildlife viewing. Its isolation shelters a wealth of plant and animal diversity—often found nowhere else—including technicolor birds and giant tortoises among sandy beaches and solidified lava flows.
The experience and exploration of the magic of nature on the Galápagos Islands couldn’t be better captured by anyone other than Steve McCurry. The clarity, emotion, and natural beauty captured in each of his shots inspires and piques curiosity of those who are pulled toward travel and exploration.
