While the remote Seychelles are unlikely to have been Eden, this island chain certainly is the land that time forgot. 1,000 miles from their closest neighbors, the Seychelles are a fragile, priceless sanctuary where many plant and animal species have changed little since the Jurassic period 150 million years ago.
