Almost 1000 kilometres from the shore of Ecuador in South America is a group of islands called the Galapagos Islands. The islands were formed by undersea volcanoes, and many of the volcanoes are still active. The islands are home to many incredible animals and plants that aren’t found anywhere else in the world – from giant tortoises and swimming iguanas to daisy plants the size of trees.

This pack contains 6 copies of The Galapagos Islands for use in small group teaching.
