Volcanic Archipelago

Comoros is a volcanic archipelago in the Mozambique Channel between Madagascar and the African mainland. Mount Karthala on Grande Comore is one of the world's most active volcanoes, rising 2,361 m above sea level. The islands blend French, Arab, African, and Malagasy cultural influences into a unique Comorian identity.

Perfume Islands & Living Fossils

Comoros is the world's largest producer of ylang-ylang essence, the fragrant oil used in luxury perfumes—earning the nickname “Perfume Islands.” The waters off Comoros are also where the coelacanth, a prehistoric fish once thought extinct for 65 million years, was rediscovered alive. These “living fossils” still inhabit the deep volcanic caves around the islands.
