This immersive panorama shows Galapagos Green Turtles swimming in the water around the Galapagos archipelago. These creatures are able to travel at speeds of up to 30mph and are even able to sleep underwater for a few hours at a time. The archipelago itself is found in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 1000km off the coast of Ecuador, and was made famous by Darwin's work on the Origin of Species based on endemic species observed during his trip to the islands in 1835.
