definition : Galapagos. The GalÃ¡pagos Islands (official name: ArchipiÃ©lago de ColÃ³n, other Spanish name: Islas GalÃ¡pagos, ) are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed on either side of the Equator in the Pacific Ocean surrounding the centre of the Western Hemisphere, west of continental Ecuador, of which they are a part.
What makes the GalÃ¡pagos region special is the interaction of two powerful forces that shape our planetâs terrestrial and submarine surface, impact ocean chemistry, and form rare and isolated habitats. These two key geologic forces interacting in the GalÃ¡pagos region are hotspot volcanism and seafloor spreading.
