Following Darwin: A Photographic Tour of the Galapagos Islands
Class | Available
Doug Talbott, an avid photographer and traveler, will take you on a photographic tour of the Galápagos Islands. The islands remain largely untouched by human influence, offering a breathtaking glimpse into nature. Picture yourself on pristine shores where giant tortoises wander, marine iguanas bask in the sun, and blue-footed boobies showcase their quirky mating dances. This unique ecosystem served as a living laboratory of evolution, inspiring Charles Darwin’s groundbreaking theories. In February 2025, Doug and his wife explored six of the thirteen major islands. In this two-hour presentation, he’ll share some of his best photos and delve into the enchanting history of this remarkable archipelago.
