flag: Christmas Island

Christmas Island is a natural treasure trove with a unique ecosystem. The annual migration of over 40 million red crabs, which occurs between October and November, is recognized as a remarkable natural phenomenon. The island is designated as a nature reserve and is home to many endemic species.

The island was named Christmas Island because it was discovered on Christmas Day in 1643. It has a unique ecosystem where tropical rainforest and coral reefs coexist, and it is also known as a habitat for rare birds. Recently, it has become a popular destination for ecotourism and scientific research.
