The Beagle's Voyage

The Beagle’s Voyage was a scientific expedition from 1831 to 1836, during which HMS Beagle traveled around South America and other regions. Its main goal was to study geology, species, and landscapes. Notably, Charles Darwin, a naturalist onboard, observed diverse species and underground fossils. His findings and observations contributed to the development of his theory of evolution by natural selection. The voyage greatly expanded scientific knowledge of the natural world, helping to shape modern biology, geology, and ecology.
