High-definition cameras and aerial photography techniques, pioneered in Planet Earth, present the most complete portrait ever of these fascinating islands made famous by Charles Darwin's Origin of the Species. / The BBC crew spent 18 months on the remote Galapagos Islands, which lie in the Pacific. There they witnessed a rare eruption of the Sierra Negra volcano and captured on film incredible animal behaviour &#8211; including short-eared owls hunting storm petrels, unique night plankton and deep-ocean fish. / The three-part series explores the islands from the deep, from space, by night and through time &#8211; from their volcanic beginnings to the visit by Darwin in 1835, which shaped his theory of evolution, to the islands as they are now. /
