Galapagos sharks in the Indian Ocean
March 22, 2014 | Atoll Tale
Young Galápagos sharks—found around tropical oceanic reefs worldwide—nose the camera in the lagoon of the Bassas da India atoll. A protected home for the sharks, Bassas is one of two tiny French territories tucked between Madagascar and southern Africa. The other, Île Europa, is a vital breeding area for endangered green turtles.
