The Enchanted Isles Galapagos Discoveries and Settlement
The Galapagos archipelago lies 500 miles off Ecuador with 15 large and 40 smaller islands covering about 3000 square miles. Home to 2000 inhabitants mainly Ecuadorians and Scandinavians, it supports fishing and farming in volcanic soil. Discovered by a Spanish expedition in 1532 and later claimed by Ecuador in 1832, the islands were once thought bewitched by sailors.
