Their names are Grande Comore, Mayotte, Anjouan and Mohéli: are the four islands which form the Comoros archipelago. Three of them (Grande Comore, Anjouan and Mohéli) form the Federal Islamic Republic of Comore. The fourth (Mayotte) is a French possession. They lie in the northern entrance of Mozambique Channel, between Africa and the north-western coast of Madagascar.
A paradisiacal corner, neverthless unknown to the most and, because of it, unexploited by tourism yet. Four islands, four jewels, one different to the other. Grande Comore is black like lava, there are neither rivers, or springs, but is covered with green, tropical forests, coulors and tastes of coconuts and vanilla. It's the larger island of the archipelago and its capital Moroni is a tipical arab city: an ancient core on the harbour, a very african market, a medina, a couple of mosquees, big moorish arcades everywhere.
Mohéli is the smallest of Comore. It's green, incised by deep valleys and rivers, covered by forests and celebrated for its legendary queens. Anjouan is the most perfumed and cultivated. The landscape is beautiful, maybe the most varied in the entire archipelago with the alternate of white beaches and green mountains. The main city is Mutsamudu, a small town built at the end of the eighteenth century. Finally Mayotte, the only island faithful to France. It has the shape of a small sea-horse upside-down. It's overlooked by an ancient volcano surrounded by reefs, basaltic uneven peaks, a rough outline of mountains and valleys and green forests. It's the lowest of Comore and all around the island it stretchs the biggest coral lagoon in the world. It's just under the water that is hidden the biggest riches of this archipelago. Comore, in fact, are not famous for the pecularity of flora and fauna on dry land but under water they are a kind of Jurassic Park. In 1938 it's been found a coelacanth on the bottom of the bucket of a local fishman. This prehistoric fossil fish, with fins like limbs and a cartilaginous skeleton, was supposed to be disappeared over 70 millions yeas ago and its discover was equivalent to find a dinosaur still alive!
