    What places on Earth are named after Charles Darwin?

    Question #93361. Asked by author. (Mar 10 08 4:20 AM)


    Arpeggionist

    		Only one that I could think of - Darwin, the capital of Australia's Northern Territory. Though when I typed "Darwin" in Google Earth, it posted several spots: Darwins in Minnesota, Oklahoma, and California. Any one of these might also be named for another Darwin, but those are the answers that came up.

    		I am a little disappointed that you don't mention Darwin Island, Galapagos Islands.
