Charles Darwin was just 22 years old when he began his voyage on the HMS Beagle in 1831.
Darwin spent most of this time exploring on land: three years and three months on land, 18 months at sea.
He ably collected and made detailed observations of plants and animals, with results that shook his belief that species were fixed and provided the basis for ideas which came to him when back in England, and led to his theory of evolution by natural selection
