Photo by @simonnorfolkstudio | I was fortunate to travel to Socotra not just once, but twice. Here photographed, the astonishing white sand beach at Detwah Lagoon near Qalansia (Qalansiyah) ... Territorially part of Yemen, Socotra (Arabic: سُقُطْرَى‎ Suquṭra), is an archipelago of four islands located in the Arabian Sea. The largest island, also known as Socotra, lies about 240km (150mi) east of the Horn of Africa and 380km (240mi) south of the Arabian Peninsula. As a consequence of its isolation, the island is home to a high number of endemic species – up to a third of its plant life is endemic. It has been described as "the most alien-looking place on Earth”. In the 1990s, a team of United Nations biologists conducted a survey of the archipelago’s flora and fauna and counted nearly 700 species found nowhere else on earth; only New Zealand, Hawaii, New Caledonia, and the Galápagos Islands have more impressive numbers.
