Island of Socotra - the birthplace of aliens (15 photos)
Welcome to the island of Socotra (Socotra) in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Africa.
This is one of the strangest places on earth. The island is not like anything else and it seems that you were somewhere on another planet. It is believed that the archipelago has been isolated from mainland Africa 6 - 7 million years, which affected its flora and fauna.
