This breathtaking print captures the majestic Haggier Mountains of Socotra, emerging triumphantly through a sea of clouds at sunrise. Standing tall at over 1500 meters in height, these peaks dominate the interior of the 3600-square-kilometer island. Located in the Indian Ocean at the mouth of the Gulf of Aden, Socotra is a remote paradise situated 340 kilometers from mainland Yemen and 250 kilometers from Somalia's coast. The isolation of this enchanting island has nurtured an extraordinary evolution of flora and fauna found nowhere else on Earth. The trunk featured in this image belongs to a rare dragons blood tree (Dracaena cinnabari), endemic only to Socotra.
