Darwin spent about five weeks in the Galápagos in 1835 and collected the finches whose beak variation later became the standard illustration of natural selection. He did not work out the significance until back in London.
The clock: the Galápagos keep UTC−6, an hour behind mainland Ecuador, despite both being the same country — a rare case of a single small nation running two clocks.
Puerto Ayora lies at 90.3°W. Its time zone, UTC−6, is built around the 90°W meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 12:01, which is as close to true solar time as a zone this wide can get. The zone holds UTC−6 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 12h 10m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 12h 5m. The swing between them is 5 minutes. Within a few degrees of the equator the length of the day barely moves all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Puerto Ayora the sun comes up earliest on 3 November at 05:41, while the latest sunset waits until 12 February at 18:20. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Puerto Ayora that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
