Yahoo! BuzzTravel Movie Watch: ‘Creation’

From "HMS Beagle at Tierra del Fuego" by Conrad Martens (via Wikipedia) 
Details are still a little scarce, but I’d be very surprised if the Charles Darwin biopic didn’t include some serious travel sequences. Paul Bettany plays the lead, and the movie is due out in September.
Happy 200th Birthday, Charles Darwin

From "HMS Beagle at Tierra del Fuego" by Conrad Martens (via Wikipedia) Charles Darwin, author of the classic travel memoir The Voyage of the Beagle (oh, and that other book, too), would have turned 200 years old yesterday. To celebrate, the BBC’s David Shukman visited the Galapagos Islands, armed with a small Darwin library, and filed a series of compelling dispatches on how Darwin’s observations are holding up today.
A quick sample: “A giant frigate bird circles in the dusk sky. A lurid depiction of Charles Darwin adorns an arch outside our hotel. Once again, there’s a sea lion snoozing beside our table. It’s no longer a surprise. I must be evolving too.”
