Alien-looking Island tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb7 I0 h8 _- N( C6 j
It is believed that Socotra got its name from Sanskrit, meaning “Island of Bliss.” Others suggest the name was derived from Arabic and means “dripping frankincense.” It may be a bit of both, currently unspoiled by man, but most people know of Socotra as being “the most alien-looking place on Earth.” It’s like a whole another world, like a different dimension。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb% d) F& A4 y!

The tree is so named because any possible injury to the bark results in a deep red liquid that excretes from the scar.
