A 26 Foot Tall Raised Coral Reef Home to 100,000 Giant Tortoises
From above, the Aldabra Atoll, adrift the Indian Ocean, looks like a giant utopian green fortress - much like the Aldabra tortoise from which it gets its' name - a 470 pound gentle giant native to these waters and these bathlike turquoise waters and the greater Seychelles archipelago that dwells upon them. The species roam freely (and slowly) across many & most of the 115 isles, but this one atoll in particular is home to more than 100,000 i.e. two-thirds of the species' global population. This same atoll is also home to the world's second largest raised coral reef, topping out at 26 feet!
A World Heritage site, consisting of four coral islands encircling an immense central lagoon and bizarre limestone structures referred to as champignons like the one pictured above. Over time, tidal waters will erode the coral, gradually chipping away at the structure's teetering stem before eventually toppling over into shallow waters.
