Galapagos Volcanoes

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

A very interesting video on the volcanoes of the Galapagos Islands awaits your class. The animals who live there are also featured. The giant tortoises of the islands are a special focus of this video. The tortoises are heavily impacted when there is a lava flow and have actually been airlifted out by helicopter to get them out of the way of a flow!
