So There’s An Island You’ve Probably Never Heard Of … And It Looks Like Aliens Should Live There

If you’ve grown bored of the typical white-sand beach resort island getaway, than you should take a look at this bizarre spot. Out of all the weird places in the world, this island, described as “the most alien-looking place on earth”, just might be the strangest.
The island is called Socotra and is part of a small archipelago of four islands located in the Indian Ocean. It’s part of Yemen and is the main island of the archipelago, accounting for 95% of its land mass. It’s incredibly remote and is one of the most isolated landforms on Earth of continental origin (meaning it wasn’t formed by a volcano).
