The island is historically famous for being the place where Charles Darwin developed his theory of evolution, thanks to the many unique species of wildlife that can be found only here. Tourists visiting today can see many interesting geological and natural phenomena, including lakes, crater lake volcanoes, sea turtles, and other interesting varieties of flora and fauna.
