Thanks to all for joining us in Virtual Galápagos! The TerraQuest Team has returned from its extraordinary journey through wildlife and adventure, all of it posted here on the World Wide Web as it happened. You can read about it in the Dispatches. See a collection of the best digital images from the field in the Gallery, and experience Galápagos panoramas in the QTVR Gallery!

	Atlas Use our interactive maps to venture down the Rio Aguarico, travel the Avenue of the Volcanoes, and zoom in for a close-up look at the islands on the Virtual Galápagos itinerary!
	Dispatches Keep up-to-date with our team in the field as they explore the volcanic isles of the equator...join live chat and conferences with crew and 'net surfers...and relive our past adventures in Ecuador's highlands and rainforest realms.
	Expedition Shred the line between the actual and the virtual with our Terra-Team profiles, ship's specs, rules for eco-tourism and an invitation to join us in the field for out next adventure!
	History Pirates and plunderers, naval captains and naturalists, conquistadores and liberators have all journeyed to the equator and explored the land of giant tortoises. Now it's your turn!
	Issues If the Galápagos are a "living laboratory of evolution," guess who's bedeviling the experiment? Introduced species, illegal marine harvesting, population pressures and political turmoil confront these islands today, and will determine their future.
	Wildlife From rainbow colored iguanas and blue-footed boobies to frigatebirds with red balloons, green sea turtles and vermillion flycatchers -- the Galápagos is a riot of color and contrast. And don't forget those penguins on the equator!

Traveling virtually, K-12 classrooms investigate the Galápagos Islands' ecology to understand how wildlife adapts and evolves. This online space allows students to collaborate with the travelers and share their knowledge with the world. Sponsored by IBM.
