Socotra - The island, known by few... - music by Valdi Sabev (Perfect day) Have you heard of the island of Socotra? The small piece of land in the Indian - Ocean, near Yemen, average tropical island seems at first glance. Surrounded by sparkling blue water, and the inevitable, pristine coral reefs. Tourists paradise might think - but it's not ... It is only 125 km long and 45 km wide island is unique in the world! It's a strange world .... As for grabs for the first time, the incredible beauty and diversity of the landscape.... But a second glance, we notice that something (wrong) is not the kind we know from ... The sand dunes we wonder since when are white? And what are these strange looking trees that can grow out of the rock as well? The place so called the Pearl of the Arab world, fabulous flora and fauna, never seen before, umbrella-shaped trees, and so many other amazing wonders of nature, a very specific manifestation of the evolution.... Futuristic landscapes, one of the world's weirdest destination, also known as the most isolated landscape of the Earth ... Because of Socotra's unique wildlife won the Nature's sanctuary title, as the UFO island, the new Galapagos, or the museum of extinct species name are really deserved .. Earth's 80% of flora can be found here alone, allowing tourists to have a fantastic viewing experience. Because it is such an incredible impression, like it would be a different planet. Raise the question of whether we are still on Earth? Thanks to the the island's unique flora and fauna and isolation, the island is particularly high protected, and in 2008 was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, to preserve for future generations .. To you dear John ... Because you know the island very well .
