Beagle. With goals of the expedition is to perform a survey of the Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, studied the plants and animals at each new stop. He discovers many unique species on the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Peru in South America. These discoveries lead to his groundbreaking theory of evolution. In his book, The Origin of Species, Darwin suggests that the deep ocean may be a sanctuary for living fossils.

The Challenger Deep is named after its depth of 35,856 feet. The Mariana Trench, located off the coast of the Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean, is now known as the Mariana Trench.
