The Most Alien Place on Earth
People on the Yemeni island of Socotra speak an indigenous language called Soqotri. Many female Socotrans have DNA that is found nowhere else on Earth. Also, a third of the island's plant life is found nowhere else on the planet. Socotra has been described as "the most alien-looking place on Earth." http://goo.gl/maps/jpbA
