I really enjoyed this video from University of Minnesota students as they describe the importance of traveling to the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador, from an academic as well as a life experience. Of course, the Galapagos are iconic for the diversity of animal wildlife, and their catalyst for Darwin's theory of evolution; and these students describe the impact of seeing the island tortoises and finches as it relates to their studies. The excitement and emotion is what makes this video work for me...
