| Darwin Island is among the smallest in the Galapagos Archipelago with an area of just one square kilometer. It is the northern most island and a very special place for scuba divers. The name of the island honours the Galapagos archipelago's most famous visitor, Charles Darwin. Its original English name was Culpepper Island. With no dry landing sites, Darwin Island's main attractions are found underwater in the Pacific Ocean. The marine life at Darwin Island is diverse with large schools of fish. The island’s waters attract Whale Sharks from June to November, as well Hammerhead, Galapagos, Silky and Blacktip sharks. In addition Green Turtles, Manta rays, Dolphins and Orcas (killer whales) can also be seen. The only visitors are those that come to scuba dive from the limited number of liveaboard ships that venture here. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Island |
