Photograph by @thomaspeschak At Aldabra atoll green sea turtles often rest for hours on the sandy seabed between coral outcrops.

From a forthcoming @natgeo magazine story on island restoration and conservation in the Seychelles. #sif #ics @saveourseasfoundation @thephotosociety @natgeocreative For more images of sea turtles and other incredible marine life follow @natgeo photographer @thomaspeschak by natgeo http://ift.tt/1DSOKN6 – Gatlinburg Garden Castle Rainbow Tower Library Imagination Station Temple Water Spirit Guardian Labyrinth Treasury Magic Healing
