70 islands, Palau
Palau... To many the name conjures up images of lush jungles atop mushroom-shaped limestone islands surrounded by turquoise waters so abundant with life that it is nearly impossible to ingest it all. With magnificent reefs that contain over 1300 species of fish and 400 species of coral, it is no surprise that it is recognized as one of the best and most consistent places to see a huge diversity and abundance of both small tropical fish and large pelagic predators.
I been traveling to this island Paradise for many years now and fortunately enough to capture its beauty not only above and below the waves but also from high above, swirling around with a fix wing aircraft or later in a Helicopter.

The famous Blue Corner, Palau
Unfortunately the Helicopter has gone now and I am not sure it will return to Palau, hence the reason for this post; "Birds Eye View of the Crown Jewel of the Pacific."
Looking at beautiful places from above; like the Jellyfish Lake, the Bai, Blue Corner and its amazing reef, Milky Way and of course different views of the spectacular and unique 70 Islands plus so many others.

Enjoy the view from above and maybe you get a chance to visit this Island Paradise and enjoy it as much then I have over many years, remember there is a lot more to Palau then just below the waves... Nature at its very best.
It comes as no surprise that National Geographic named it one of the world's last "Edens." Palau is truly blessed with an abundance of natural wonders.

Exploring the Rock Islands by Kayaks
Another first in the world was the declaration of a Shark Sanctuary, the Palau Shark Sanctuary was founded in 2001 in an effort to end the annihilation of Palau's sharks as a result of rampant shark-finning at the hands of foreign long-line fishing vessels licensed by Palau to fish in their waters.
Palau Shark Sanctuary seeks a declaration by Palau establishing the waters of Palau's Exclusive Economic Zone as a sanctuary for all sharks. Since then many Nations have followed Palau's example in conservation and in the protection of Sharks and other marine species.

The beach at PPR Resort, Palau
Its highly diverse geological formations make Palau an exceptionally unique place to explore. In the north there are two limestone atolls, while the main island of Babeldaob is primarily volcanic rock, rising to 217 meters/716 feet at its highest point.
The world famous Rock Islands, remnants of ancient coral reefs lifted by volcanic forces are purely limestone. As such, though Palau is globally renowned for its superb and incomparable underwater wonders, it likewise offers stunning caves, marine lakes and other surface habitats shaped by natural forces and waiting to be explored.

Palau's International Airport
Palau's magic does not end with its legendary dive sites. Palau's forests are home to both biological treasures and ancient cultural sites that demonstrate Palau's traditional belief system. The Palau Conservation Society's (PCS) conservation strategy provides an opportunity to link cultural preservation with resource protection.
Just one more…
