Charles Darwin observed that finch populations on the Galápagos Islands exhibited a variety of beak shapes and sizes, which seemed to correlate with the specific diets and ecological niches of the different islands. These variations indicated adaptations to their environments, such as larger beaks for cracking seeds or smaller beaks for insects. This led Darwin to develop his theory of natural selection, illustrating how species can evolve over time based on environmental pressures. Ultimately, these observations contributed significantly to his understanding of evolution and the concept of adaptation.
Charles Robert Darwin
Charles Darwin conducted his observations aboard the HMS Beagle during a five-year voyage to various locations around the world, including the Galapagos Islands. He also studied specimens and made observations in other places like South America and the Pacific Islands.
Galapagos Islands are the islands where Charles Darwin observed variation among organisms.
The Galapagos Islands were to my knowledge the only islands studied extensively by Charles Darwin.

The inhabited islands of the Galpagos are: Santa Cruz, San Cristobal, Isabela, and Floreana.
The difference between their beaks
The Galapagos Islands are located in the Pacific ocean at 600 miles west to the coast of Ecuador in South America.
