I filled in many tablets with careful observations about animals, plants and geology while also collecting 1000`s of specimens which I put in crates and brought home with me for further study. I also got the privilege of witnessing Mount Osomo erupt while on the island of Chiloe. Really the earthquake after the eruption did more damage decreasing the size of the island. In the Galapagos islands I find so many species of plants, birds and tortoises unique to the island but they seem closely related to the mainland species. I was fascinated and amused as to how big the Galapagos tortoises were. They were so big that I actually got on top of one and started riding one. After experiencing that and learning all those new things I didn't know before I would say that the "Beagle voyage was the most important event in my life".
