You?ve likely never heard of the island of Chilo�, in southern Chile, but Charles Darwin knew alll about it.
The island?s diverse ecosystem inspired the famed scientist to explore the area.
Much of what Darwin saw in 1834 you can still find today.
Bright green forests populate the entire western side of the island, a close-knit penguin colony makes its home on the north. Marine fauna includes blue whales, dolphins, sea lions and sea otters.
