Aldabra is the world's largest raised coral atoll and one of the most remote places in the Indian Ocean. It is home to almost 90% of the world's giant tortoises, a largely unexplored marine wonderland and a haven for birds, including the last flightless bird in the Indian Ocean.
This book is the visual diary of our two expeditions to Aldabra and the surrounding islands of Assumption, Astove and Cosmoledo.

I have previewed this book - after searching out Aldabra Island and its small archipelago in a very large (!) atlas - and it gives a wonderful account of a remarkable expedition. The photography is of quite exceptional quality. A mall masterpiece, is this. Robert Corbett. 22/02/2011.
