Summary

Description

Popularized by the studies and writings of Charles Darwin, the Galápagos Islands gained fame for their abundance of endemic plants and animals—species found nowhere else on the planet. But another Pacific Ocean archipelago about 3800 kilometers (2400 miles) to the south, popularized by a novel about a shipwreck and castaway, rivals the Galápagos in its abundance of endemic plants.

Robinson Crusoe and Santa Clara islands, part of the Juan Fernández island group off of Chile, are visible in this image, acquired on November 7, 2018, by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8.
