Spectacular rock formations in the Seychelles
The Seychelles is a community consisting of 115 islands over 1,3 million square kilometres of the western Indian Ocean. Smoothed granite rocks such as this one are dotted over the islands. The Granitic Seychelles have been separated from other continents for over 75 million years, and are the only mid-oceanic granitic islands in the world.
