Beginning The ship called Beagle left England on December 27, 1831. The voyage lasted almost 5 years.

Canary Islands, South America. Journal The Beagle reached the Canary Islands in early January, and continued onward to South America, which was reached by the end of February 1832. During the explorations of South America, Darwin was able to spend considerable time on land. He kept notebooks to record his observations, and during quiet times on board the Beagle he would transcribe his notes into a journal.

Argentina and Brazil In the summer of 1833 Darwin went inland in Argentina. During his treks in South America Darwin dug for bones and fossils. In Brazil he was delighted by the tropical forest, but detested the sight of slavery.

Darwin Visits the Galapagos Islands The Beagle reached the Galapagos Islands in September 1835. Darwin was fascinated by such oddities as volcanic rocks and giant tortoises. The young scientist would then climb on top, and attempt to ride the large reptile when it began moving again. He recalled that it was difficult to keep his balance.

While in the Galapagos Darwin collected samples of mockingbirds, and later observed that the birds were somewhat different on each island. This made him think that the birds had a common ancestor, but had followed varying evolutionary paths once they were separated.

Darwin Circumnavigates the Globe The Beagle arrived at Tahiti in November 1835, and then sailed onward to reach New Zealand in late December. In January 1836 the Beagle arrived in Australia. After exploring coral reefs, the Beagle continued on its way, reaching the Cape of Good Hope on the southern tip of Africa at the end of May 1836. Coral Studies

Darwin Writes About His Voyage Aboard the Beagle In the following few years Darwin wrote extensively about his experiences. A five-volume set, “The Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle”, was published from 1839 to 1843. And in 1839 Darwin published a classic book under its original title, Journal of Researches. The book was later republished as “The Voyage of the Beagle”, and remains in print to this day.

Darwin, H.M.S.( Her Majesty's Ship) Beagle, and the Theory of Evolution Darwin had been exposed to some thinking about evolution before embarking aboard H.M.S. Beagle. So a popular conception that Darwin’s voyage gave him the idea of evolution is not accurate. Yet it is true that the years of travel and research focused Darwin's mind and sharpened the powers of observation that would eventually lead to the publication of “On the Origin of Species” in 1859.
