Scientists in the Wild: Galapagos
Join a team of scientists as they set sail for a place that’s unlike anywhere else on Earth — the Galápagos Islands.
Tasked with observing and protecting the islands’ amazing wildlife, the scientists will track and study the animals and plants that are unique to this incredible archipelago.
To get the job done they will climb volcanoes, get sneezed on by marine iguanas, watch dancing birds, launch a deep-diving submersible and explore the dazzling underwater wonders of Galápagos.
