Where aliens walk the Earth

Ever wondered what it would look like if you went to another planet?  Well, you don't have to wonder for long.  Just go to the bizarre Socotra Island of Yemen.  It has been isolated for such a long time (probably 6 to 7 million years!) that almost a third of its plant life is endemic - meaning you'll not see them anywhere else in the world!

Truly a fascinating sight, it is renowned as the most alien-looking place on the planet.  To get a teaser of how it looks, follow this link:
