1
00:00:02,833 --> 00:00:07,396
In the vastness of the Pacific,
there's a place unlike any other.
2
00:00:09,384 --> 00:00:11,905
Enchanted volcanic islands
that are home
3
00:00:12,116 --> 00:00:15,852
to a remarkable collection
of animals and plants.
4
00:00:19,827 --> 00:00:23,875
Here, evolution is proceeding
with spectacular speed.
5
00:00:31,432 --> 00:00:33,818
Black lizards that swim in the ocean
6
00:00:34,266 --> 00:00:36,115
and spit salt from their noses.
7
00:00:38,443 --> 00:00:41,375
Penguins, thousands of miles
from Antarctica.
8
00:00:44,565 --> 00:00:48,288
And an abundance of unique plants.
9
00:00:50,497 --> 00:00:52,922
Some animals are tiny,
10
00:00:53,269 --> 00:00:56,289
and some have only just
been discovered.
11
00:00:59,852 --> 00:01:02,622
This is a place of wonders.
12
00:01:06,190 --> 00:01:08,349
Galapagos.
13
00:01:11,249 --> 00:01:13,914
Islands born of fire,
14
00:01:15,596 --> 00:01:18,479
with inhabitants that have
transformed our understanding
15
00:01:18,878 --> 00:01:21,789
of the whole of life on Earth.
16
00:01:36,286 --> 00:01:39,514
In a lifetime spent
making natural history films,
17
00:01:39,634 --> 00:01:42,049
I've been to many wonderful places
18
00:01:42,449 --> 00:01:46,868
but none more extraordinary than here,
the Galapagos Islands.
19
00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:52,057
These have been called,
"nature's greatest experiment".
20
00:01:52,177 --> 00:01:55,967
For here,
life has evolved in isolation
21
00:01:56,087 --> 00:01:59,590
and produced some extraordinary results.
22
00:02:02,699 --> 00:02:08,019
ORIGIN
23
00:02:11,287 --> 00:02:13,775
The extraordinary
creatures of Galapagos
24
00:02:13,895 --> 00:02:15,791
astounded Charles Darwin
25
00:02:16,032 --> 00:02:19,240
when he first came here,
200 years ago.
26
00:02:21,828 --> 00:02:25,180
They led him to formulate
his revelatory theory of
27
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:28,047
evolution by natural selection.
28
00:02:31,803 --> 00:02:34,018
And now, 200 years later,
29
00:02:34,222 --> 00:02:36,720
there are still mysteries to be solved
30
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,776
and new discoveries to be made.
31
00:02:42,386 --> 00:02:46,459
Teams of scientists are investigating
unexplored regions
32
00:02:46,579 --> 00:02:50,911
of the remote islands and
discovering hitherto unknown animals.
33
00:02:52,670 --> 00:02:55,140
On the peaks of its volcanoes,
34
00:02:56,574 --> 00:02:58,702
inside networks of immense tunnels
35
00:02:59,268 --> 00:03:01,287
within the lava flows
36
00:03:02,449 --> 00:03:05,370
and in its crystal clear waters.
37
00:03:07,586 --> 00:03:10,127
Among a population of giants,
38
00:03:10,247 --> 00:03:14,586
and in the magical world that is
revealed by the microscope.
39
00:03:16,446 --> 00:03:19,404
New technologies are enabling scientists
40
00:03:19,524 --> 00:03:22,680
to investigate the workings of evolution
in new ways
41
00:03:25,193 --> 00:03:30,129
and producing insights that
would have astonished Darwin himself.
42
00:03:33,322 --> 00:03:37,620
Today, we know a lot more
about these islands.
43
00:03:37,740 --> 00:03:40,224
The discovery of new species,
44
00:03:40,344 --> 00:03:43,922
long-term studies
extending over decades,
45
00:03:44,042 --> 00:03:48,284
have given us new
