The fairytale Galapagos Islands lie in the Pacific Ocean off Ecuador. Nature has had free rein in these remote places for centuries. Due to the lack of outside influence, the most wonderful plant and animal species occur. Charles Darwin visited the islands for his famous theory of evolution. Now it's David Attenborough's turn to investigate the Galapagos Islands as the maker of the most beautiful nature documentaries. Through the camera he shows the bizarre, but also beautiful collection of wildlife that he finds there. Giant tortoises, dazzling birds and alien-looking reptiles live among plants that grow nowhere else.
