Imagine a beautiful island as a Christmas gift from Santa Claus! Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean, is called so because it was first discovered by an English ship that sailed past it on Christmas day in the seventeenth century.
With numerous endemic species thriving in its forests and surrounding ocean, the island is often referred to as the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean. With a tropical climate, and December temperatures in the eighties (F), Christmas Island sounds like an ideal destination for a winter vacation as well.
