Aldabra Atoll
World Heritage
Seychelles
🎧 Listen to Introduction
The atoll consists of four large coral islands that enclose a shallow lagoon; the archipelago itself is surrounded by coral reefs. Due to its inaccessibility and the atoll's isolation, Aldabra has been protected from human impact and has therefore retained an estimated 152,000 giant tortoises, the largest population of any reptile in the world.
