Retracing parts of Darwin’s Beagle voyage https://www.mpg.de/18264873/on-the-trail-of-charles-darwin
On 12 February 2022, Charles Darwin would have been 213 years old. In honour of the British naturalist, the international Darwin Day will be celebrated worldwide tomorrow. One person who recently sailed in Darwin’s footsteps is Eduardo Sampaio from the MPI of Animal Behavior in Constance. He spent ten days on board the Captain Darwin in the waters off Cape Verde – almost 200 years after Charles Darwin visited the islands off the West African coast.
The 12-metre sailing boat takes the same route as the HMS Beagle did back then.
