The Galapagos, the tortoise breeding ground 1 minute read
Daniela Brik
Galapagos, Ecuador, Mar 10 (efe-epa).- For millions of years, different types of tortoises adapted to dominate their habitats on isolated volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean, thousands of miles from the American continent. Today, it is human beings who are working to prevent their extinction in the famous archipelago to which the chelonians give their name: the Galapagos.
Made up of 13 large islands, six smaller ones and 42 islets, the archipelago, located some 1,000 kilometers off the mainland coast of Ecuador, is home to more than 7,000 endemic and native species, among which land tortoises play a prominent role.

The study gives the first detailed description of a volcanic eruption from Sierra Negra found on Isla Isabela - the largest of the Galápagos Islands and home to nearly 2,000 people.
The findings, published in
Nature Communications, reveal how the volcano inflated and fractured before it erupted and captures a new level of detail for any eruption from a volcano on the islands.
Networks of ground-based seismic and GPS monitoring stations, and satellites, captured data for 13 years before Sierra Negra s eruption, in June 2018.
