The Galapagos Islands are famous in part because of Charles Darwin's 1835 expedition there and the things he learned along the way—but there are parts of the Galapagos that Darwin never saw. Join us for a live chat with scientists and educators on board the Exploration Vessel Nautilus as it explores the deep ocean communities and hydrothermal vents of the Galapagos Rift Zone. We'll discuss the submarine geology and the thriving marine ecosystems in the deep sea and their connections to the kinds of animals, plants and geology that Darwin encountered on his expedition.
