Wissenswertes über die inneren Inseln der Seychellen:

The Seychelles are a small island nation in the Indian Ocean. The Seychelles are located between approximately 4ºS and 10ºS and 46ºE and 54ºE.

Die inneren Inseln bestehen aus 41 Inseln, die sich um die Hauptinseln Mahé, Praslin und La Digue gruppieren und deren Gipfel teilweise fast 1.000 m hoch sind. Außerdem gibt es 2 niedrig gelegene Koralleninseln, Denis Island und Bird Island.

There are two distinct regions, the granite islands, the world's only oceanic islands made of granite rock, and the coral-like outer islands. The granite islands are the oldest oceanic islands in the world, while the outer islands are mostly very young. However, the Aldabra Group and St. Pierre (Farquhar Group) are unusual, sublime coral islands that have risen and fallen several times over their long history, most recently about 125,000 years ago.
