In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, out in the deep blue sea, lie a cluster of islands unlike any other – the Galápagos archipelago.
In this talk, marine biologist Dr Helen Scales will present her brand-new book about a team of scientists who are tasked with studying and protecting the islands’ amazing wildlife. They tag tiger sharks, count penguins and launch a deep-diving submersible to explore the dazzling underwater wonders of Galápagos. Expect to learn all about the special mix of species that live in Galápagos and nowhere else on Earth, and how scientists are working hard to safeguard them for the future.
The book is aimed at readers aged ~7+ years, and Helen’s talk will be suitable for all ages.
