The young, volcanic, Galapagos Archipelago is made up of over 130
islands and islets, although only five are actually inhabited. A
province of Ecuador, they are located on the Equator, about 1,000
km (about 600 miles) to the west of South American mainland. Aside
from their natural beauty, and the opportunities for exploration by
sea, the Galapagos Islands are intimately associated with
scientific research. While this may have begun with Charles
Darwin's brief visit in 1835, today the emphasis is on conservation
research, and the islands and surrounding marine reserve form a
UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site.The Galapagos Islands Explorer
is a fold-out visitor's map (scale 1 : 400 000), that measures
approximately 100 x 69 cm (W x H) when unfolded. It also has
sections on human history, conservation, National Park Rules, the
various island names (Ecuadorian and English), a timeline, and
biographies of the significant people in Galapagos history. It will
complement a trip to the islands, and help you make the most of
your time there.Mapping has come a long way since the islands first
appeared on Gerardus Mercator's map in 1569, and the Galapagos
Islands Explorer is the perfect companion for a visit to the
archipelago. As well as the map itself, the Explorer gives a
general introduction to the geology, climate, and geography of the
islands, plus background background information on the flora and
fauna you can expect to see - from Galapagos cotton to the famous
iguanas and giant tortoises. There is concise and practical
information on each of the main islands as well as the most popular
dive sites.

new paths have been added to the already formidable array of routes
to choose from.
The map will be great for: imagining; planning journeys; drawing
on; using as a companion to the website; marking Slow Ways you plan
to walk; recording routes you have walked; learning about active
travel in schools; making walls look fantastic! It is a two-sided
giant, colourful and functional map. Slow Ways is an initiative to
create a network of walking routes that connect all of Great
Britain's towns and cities as well as thousands of villages and
every national park. People can use the routes to walk between
neighbouring places or combine routes to travel over longer
distances. Slow Ways was kick-started during the first lockdown
with hundreds of volunteers suggesting thousands of routes. There
are now over 8,000 routes in the network that cover over 120,000km.
Using the Slow Ways website, people are now walking the routes to
make sure they are good enough to be in the network. Enough work
has now been done to publish our first printed map of the network
at a scale that is perfect for imagining, planning and recording
journeys.
