January 12, 1836January 12th, 1836. -- Early in the morning a light air carried us towards the entrance of Port Jackson. Instead of beholding a verdant country, interspersed with fine houses, a straight line of yellowish cliff brought to our minds the coast of Patagonia. A solitary lighthouse, built of white stone, alone told us that we were near a great and populous city. Having entered the harbour, it appears fine and spacious, with cliff-formed shores of horizontally stratified sandstone. The nearly level country is covered with thin scrubby trees, bespeaking the curse of sterility. Proceeding further inland, the country improves: beautiful villas and nice cottages are here and there scattered along the beach. In the distance stone houses, two and three stories high, and windmills standing on the edge of a bank, pointed out to us the neighborhood of the capital of Australia
September 15, 1835 On September 15, 1835, the narrator reached the Galapagos Islands, situated under the Equator about 500 to 600 miles west of America. These volcanic islands, with some granite fragments, feature immense craters and approximately two thousand throughout the archipelago. Despite their equatorial location, the islands have a mild climate due to the surrounding cold water from the Polar current, with irregular rainfall and lush vegetation in the upper parts.On September 29th, the narrator explored Albemarle Island, noting its barrenness and the abundance of unique lizard species. They emphasized the islands' distinct natural history, with most species found nowhere else yet related to those of America. The narrator highlighted the diverse group of finches, with thirteen species showing variations in beak size. They also described the varied tortoise populations and diet depending on their habitat.The most remarkable aspect of the Galapagos Islands' natural history is the distinct species variation between islands, despite similar geological and climatic conditions. The narrator observed this through the differences in tortoises, confirming the unique distribution of species across the archipelago.
Juliy 19, 1836On the 19th of July we reached Ascension. Those who have beheld a volcanic island, situated under an arid climate, will at once be able to picture to themselves the appearance of Ascencion. They will imagine smooth conical hills of a bright red colour, with their summits generally truncated, rising separately out of a level surface of black rugged lava. A principal mound in the centre of the island, seems the father of the lesser cones. It is called Green Hill: its name being taken from the faintest tinge of that colour, which at this time of the year is bare- ly perceptible from the anchorage. To complete the desolate scene, the black rocks on the coast are lashed by a wild and turbulent sea.

March 4, 1835The passage describes the narrator's arrival at Concepción, Chile, in 1835, following a devastating earthquake on March 20th. They explore the aftermath on the island of Quiriquina, noting widespread destruction of houses, villages, and storehouses in Concepción and Talcahuano. The coast is littered with debris, including furniture and merchandise. The narrator observes fissures in the ground and massive rock fragments displaced by the earthquake's force, speculating on its ongoing effects and its impact on altering the island's size.
May 9, 1836May 9th. -- We sailed from Port Louis, and, calling at the Cape of Good Hope, on the 8th of July we arrived off St. Helena. This island, the forbidding aspect of which has been so often described, rises abruptly like a huge black castle from the ocean. Near the town, as if to com- plete nature's defence, small forts and guns fill up every gap in the rugged rocks. The town runs up a flat and narrow valley; the houses look respectable, and are interspersed with a very few green trees. When approaching the anchorage there was one striking view: an irregular castle perched on the summit of a lofty hill, and surrounded by a few scattered fir-trees, boldly pro- jected against the sky....
December 17, 1832We entered the famous strait of Le Maire, keeping close to Fuegian shore. In the afternoon we anchored in Bay of Good Success. We saw a gropus of savage Fuegians. The harbour was a piece of waer half surrounded by monutains covered by a dense forest.
April 1, 1836April 1st. -- We arrived in view of the Keeling or Cocos Islands, situated in the Indian Ocean, and about six hundred miles distant from the coast of Sumatra. This is one of the lagoon-islands (or atolls) of coral formation, similar to those in the Low Archipelago which we passed near...
July 24, 1833July 24th, 1833. -- The Beagle sailed from Maldonado, and on August the 3rd she arrived off the mouth of the Rio Negro. This is the principal river on the whole line of coast between the Strait of Magellan and the Plata. It enters the sea about three hundred miles south of the estuary of the Plata. About fifty years ago, under the old Spanish government, a small colony was established here; and it is still the most southern position (lat. 41°) on this eastern coast of America, inhabited by civilized ma
November 15, 1835November 15th. -- At daylight, Tahiti, an island which must for ever remain classical to the voyager in the South Sea, was in view. At a distance the appearance was not attractive. The lux- uriant vegetation of the lower part could not yet be seen, and as the clouds rolled past, the wildest and most precipitous peaks showed themselves towards the centre of the island. As soon as we anchored in Matavai Bay, we were surrounded by canoes....
August 24, 1833
During a visit to Punta Alta, observations were made on the geological formations and remarkable fossils found in the area. The plain near the coast is part of the Pampean formation, consisting of reddish clay and calcareous marly rock. Evidence of the slow elevation of the land includes upraised beds of recent shells and scattered pumice pebbles. Notably, at Punta Alta, numerous remains of gigantic land animals were discovered, including the Megatherium, Megalonyx, Scelidotherium, Mylodon Darwinii, and others. These fossils, along with shells, were found embedded in stratified gravel and reddish mud, resembling modern shallow bank deposits. The presence of freshwater and saltwater infusorial animalcules suggests an estuary environment. The well-preserved state of these fossils indicates they lived while the sea was populated with its current inhabitants, supporting the idea of the relatively shorter lifespan of mammalian species compared to testacea, as noted by Mr. Lyell.
January 9th, 1834
The southern continent, including Patagonia, has undergone extensive geological changes, with the landmass raised over a distance of 1200 miles, reaching heights of 300 to 400 feet. This uplift occurred during periods interspersed with erosion by the sea, forming distinct step-like plains along the coast. Remarkably, these plains maintain similar heights across vast distances. Additionally, Patagonia has experienced subsidence, evident from the burial of shells under hundreds of feet of sea-deposited strata. Overall, the coastal formations of Patagonia reflect a complex history of geological processes including uplift, erosion, and subsidence.
January 15th, 1835
On January 15th, we sailed from Low's Harbour and anchored in the bay of S. Carlos in Chiloe three days later. On the night of the 19th, the Osorno volcano erupted, creating a spectacular sight with molten matter ejected into the air. The eruption ceased by morning.

February 20th, 1835
On February 20th, Valdivia experienced its most severe earthquake in memory. I was ashore and felt the ground shake intensely for two minutes, though it seemed longer. The direction of the tremors was uncertain, with some perceiving them from the east and others from the southwest. The sensation was likened to standing on a vessel in a gentle ripple or skating over thin ice. The earthquake shattered our perception of stability, turning the seemingly solid earth into a precarious surface. In the forest, only the trembling ground was felt, but in town, wooden houses rattled and creaked, prompting people to flee in fear. The accompanying phenomena, like the peculiar movement of tides, added to the horror. Despite its interest, the earthquake was not awe-inspiring within the forest, but it left a lasting impact on those who experienced its effects firsthand.
