you know that feeling where you think you know about every place on earth, and that there’s there nowhere left to discover? we had that feeling blown clear away last week when we first heard about the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. located about 280 nautical miles south of the Maldives, this remote paradise is off limits to everyone excepts scientists and B-52 pilots (the island of Diego Garcia is home to a US airbase). it’s virtually untouched and unblemished – with pollution at one part per trillion – and best of all there is a chance the UK government will declare the vast 210,000 square mile area a Marine Protected Area. their consultation ends Friday, so find out more and add your voice at protectchagos.org
