Coral reef
Coral reef. Aerial view of a reef island, part of the Lakshadweep Archipelago of 36 islands, about 350 kilometres west of India. It is typical of coral islands, consisting of a ring of coral reefs just below the sea surface, which enclose a deeper lagoon. Sand and other sediments drifting over the reef form raised islands. Wind-borne plant seeds are then able to establish stabilising vegetation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking aerial view captures the mesmerizing beauty of a coral reef island in the Lakshadweep Archipelago, located approximately 350 kilometers west of India. The image showcases the typical characteristics of these enchanting coral islands, with a ring of vibrant coral reefs just below the crystal-clear sea surface, embracing a serene and deeper lagoon. The formation process is truly remarkable; sand and sediments carried by ocean currents gently drift over the reef, gradually accumulating to create raised islands. These natural wonders provide an ideal habitat for an array of marine life that thrives amidst this underwater oasis. What makes this photograph even more captivating is witnessing how wind-borne plant seeds have taken root on these sandy banks, establishing lush vegetation that stabilizes and enhances the island's ecosystem. This harmonious coexistence between land and sea creates a delicate balance that sustains both flora and fauna alike. As you immerse yourself in this stunning image captured by Science Photo Library, you can almost feel the warm Indian breeze caressing your face while admiring nature's artistry at its finest. Let it serve as a reminder of our responsibility to protect such precious environments for future generations to cherish and explore.
