by Jorge Oliver

It may “just” be the planet’s third largest ocean, but with approximately 20% of the Earth’s water surface over an area of 73,556,000 km2, the Indian Ocean is a world all unto itself. Bordering 38 countries and spanning three continents from Cape Agulhas in southwestern South Africa to the southernmost tip of Tasmania, calling this region diverse feels like an understatement. Ancient cities, vast natural preserves, endemic wildlife, pristine atolls, and historical marvels are just a few of the attractions in this vast region that’s ripe for exploration.
