The Indian Ocean, a vast expanse of beauty and wonder, holds within its depths a myriad of treasures. From the enchanting Little blue penguins standing on rocks at night, their silhouettes dancing against the backdrop of Melbourne city lights, to the St Kilda breakwater in Victoria, Australia, where nature meets urban charm. This captivating image was captured in December 2016 as part of the COP26 Countdown Photo Competition 2021 and emerged as a joint winner. Venturing further eastward towards Africa, we encounter a political map that unravels the diverse tapestry of nations that border this majestic ocean, and is here that we find remnants from ancient times - fossil ammonites like Desmoceras spp. , dating back to the Upper Early Cretaceous period in Mahajanga Province, Madagascar. Under UV light, these fossils come alive with vibrant hues. Moving across to Sri Lanka's shores along the Indian Ocean lies Dalawella - home to stilt fishermen who have mastered an art passed down through generations. These skilled individuals perch atop slender stilts amidst crashing waves while casting their nets into bountiful waters. Beneath the surface lurks another marvel –the Great White Shark VT 2255 (M), its head and open mouth captured in an underwater close-up off South Australia. Ron & Valerie Taylor's lens immortalizes this awe-inspiring creature known as Carcharodon carcharias. As we journey westwards towards Asia's Maldives archipelago, seaplanes parked on sandbanks await passengers eager to explore paradise from above. The turquoise waters beckon kite surfers seeking adrenaline-fueled adventures amidst breathtaking scenery. Further west lies Seychelles' tropical beaches adorned with two Adirondack chairs inviting visitors to unwind and soak up nature's serenity.
