Islands: Christmas Island in Australia

One page of the upcoming book "Islands". Christmas Island in Australia.

"Don't expect to see Santa Claus sunbathing here! This lush tropical island sits way out in the Indian Ocean, circled by warm blue waters and smothered in humid rainforest. It also has a very special secret: it's the summit of a huge underwater mountain! And although fewer than 2,000 people live here the island has tens of millions of other residents. Be careful, though - lots of them have very sharp claws."
