Christmas Island
Christmas Island sits alone in the Indian Ocean, closer to Indonesia than to Australia, which administers it. The interior is dense rainforest protecting one of the world's most unusual concentrations of endemic wildlife, while phosphate mining has shaped its economy for over a century. The island is compact but topographically sharp, with cliffs dropping to clear water on most sides.
