This otherworldly place is actually for real and it is right here on the big blue marble. It’s a place called Socotra Island and it is part of a 4-island chain off the coast of Africa that has been geographically isolated for the last 6 or 7 million years. Like the Galapagos Islands, this island is teeming with 700 extremely rare species of flora and fauna, a full 1/3 of which are endemic or as the layman would say, “found nowhere else on Earth.” The name Socotra is derived from a Sanscrit name, meaning “The Island of Bliss“.
