The Galápagos Islands (official name: Archipiélago de Colón, other Spanish name: Islas Galápagos) are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed on either side of the Equator in the Pacific Ocean surrounding the centre of the Western Hemisphere, west of continental Ecuador, of which they are a part.

The islands are known for their vast number of endemic species and were studied by Charles Darwin during the voyage of the Beagle, as his observations and collections contributed to the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.

The polar bear ( ) is a carnivorous bear whose native range lies largely within the Arctic Circle, encompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses.

It is a large bear, approximately the same size as the omnivorous Kodiak bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi).

A boar (adult male) weighs around, while a sow (adult female) is about half that size.

Although it is the sister species of the brown bear, it has evolved to occupy a narrower ecological niche, with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures, for moving across snow, ice and open water, and for hunting seals, which make up most of its diet.

Although most polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their time on the sea ice.

Their scientific name means "maritime bear" and derives from this fact.

Polar bears hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice, often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present.

Because of their dependence on the sea ice, polar bears are classified as marine mammals; an alternative basis for classification as marine mammals is that they depend on the ocean as their main food source.

Adventure travel is a type of niche tourism, involving exploration of travel in an “unusual, exotic, remote, or wilderness destination.”.

Travelers are highly engaged in involvement with activities that include perceived (and possibly actual) risk, and potentially requiring specialized skills and physical exertion.

Adventure tourism has grown in recent decades, as tourists seek out-of-the-ordinary types of vacations, but measurement of market size and growth is hampered by the lack of a clear operational definition.

According to the U.S. based Adventure Travel Trade Association, adventure travel may be any tourist activity that includes the following three components: a physical activity, a cultural exchange and connection with nature.

A habitat is an ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular species of animal, plant, or other type of organism.

The term typically refers to the zone in which the organism lives and where it can find food, shelter, protection and mates for reproduction.

It is the natural environment in which an organism lives, or the physical environment that surrounds a species population.
