Virtual Journey: Christmas Island

1,330 kilometres southwest of Singapore in the Indian Ocean lies a quaint little island with historic ties to Singapore, and special significance to our museum: Christmas Island.
Geographically isolated from neighbouring landmasses, the insular fauna has developed high endemism, with over 200 endemic species found only on Christmas Island and nowhere else on Earth.
Uncover some of the island’s geological marvels and unique biodiversity with our researchers in this virtual journey, the second in our series produced by our Outreach and Education Unit (OEU). Subscribe to stay tuned to our next video! www.tinyurl.co...
