Santa takes a selfie while soaking up the Yuletide sun with his reindeer on this remote tropical island in the Indian Ocean. Although it is 2,600 kilometres north-west of Perth, the tiny, reef-fringed island attracts its fair share of tourists eager to view sights such as the annual spectacular Red Crab migration, unique wildlife and experience the different cultures of the island’s Malay, Chinese and European inhabitants. The island’s ubiquitous Red Crabs join in the fun, along with a variety of birds, including dancing Brown Boobies, Christmas Island Frigatebirds, White-tailed Tropicbirds and Red-Footed Boobies. Three endemic Christmas Island Blue-tailed Skinks watch from the trunk and fronds of a nearby coconut palm. Now extinct in the wild, these small reptiles have been making a comeback in captive-breeding programs on the island.
