This expedition would eventually contribute significantly to his later theories on evolution, making this narrative both an enlightening scientific exploration and a personal memoir of discovery. The opening of "De Reis om de Wereld" introduces the reader to the significant context of Darwin's journey. It begins with the logistical details of the Beagle's departure from Devonport on December 27, 1831, under Captain Fitz-Roy, aimed at surveying the coasts of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. Darwin describes the early days of the voyage, including the excitement of his first encounters with new lands, beginning with his arrival at the Cape Verde Islands. He vividly recounts the stark, volcanic landscapes, alongside the unique flora and fauna he observes, setting the stage for an expedition that would reshape his scientific outlook and contribute to pivotal theories in natural selection and evolution.
