Socotra Archipelago
Located southeast of Yemen in Arabian Sea still belongs to the
comparatively unexplored parts of the world. Apart from some 19th
century travel accounts, the island has been a relatively well-kept
secret, virtually isolated from the rest of the world and effectively
closed to foreign visitors due to extreme natural conditions. Especially
during the time of the monsoon, which blows from April to October, the
island is often cut off completely. The natural history of Socotra is
one of the most fascinating in the world. Its unique character is
related to its geological history. Some of the endemic species are
probably relics of a very ancient flora and fauna surviving since the
Mesozoic period.
