The Galapagos Islands, are an island group off the eastern Pacific Ocean, administratively a province of Ecuador. The Galapagos consist of 13 major islands (ranging in area from 14 to 4,588 square km), 6 smaller islands, and scores of islets. In 1978 the islands were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site and for good reason, as the islands have thousands of plant and animal species, of which the vast majority are endemic. The Charles Darwin Research Station promotes scientific studies and protects the indigenous vegetation and vulnerable animal life of the Galapagos. Around 30,000 people live on the islands, and approximately 170,000 tourists visit the islands each year.
