家，甜蜜的火山(Home, sweet volcano)

1835年，英国博物学家查尔斯·达尔文探索了东太平洋的加拉帕戈斯火山群岛。在研究这些岛屿上的生物时，他得出的结论是，来自南美洲的各种动物物种，主要是爬行动物和能够穿越广阔水域的鸟类，已经移民到加拉帕戈斯，并逐渐适应了它们的环境。这些观察最终为达尔文的自然选择进化理论奠定了基础。研究中检查的物种之一是加拉帕戈斯的巨型海龟，这是一种只在加拉帕戈斯群岛发现的海龟，可以长到1.5米。事实上，这些岛屿以这些美丽生物的名字命名，“加拉帕戈”在西班牙语中的意思是海龟。今天，达尔文国际日，让我们庆祝这些温柔的巨人，他们为19世纪的伟大科学发现之一做出了贡献。

In 1835, British naturalist Charles Darwin explored the Galapagos volcanic archipelago in the eastern Pacific. When studying the creatures on these islands, he concluded that various animal species from South America, mainly reptiles and birds capable of crossing vast waters, have migrated to Galapagos and gradually adapted to their environment. These observations ultimately laid the foundation for Darwin's theory of natural selection evolution. One of the species examined in the study is the giant sea turtle found only in the Galapagos Islands, which can grow up to 1.5 meters. In fact, these islands are named after these beautiful creatures, and "Galapago" means turtle in Spanish. Today, Darwin International Day, let's celebrate these gentle giants who contributed to one of the great scientific discoveries of the 19th century.
