The Galápagos Islands are an archipelago consisting of six main islands, twelve smaller islands, and more than forty islets, some no more than rocky outcroppings rising from the sea. The islands are the peaks of gigantic volcanoes, rising 7,000 to 9,000 feet from the seabed. Long known for the exciting and unique animals and bird species, the Galápagos Islands are also home to many different plants that are as unique as their natural counterparts.
