Baobabs Overlooking the Coast

632
Leafless baobab trees rise like ancient sculptures along the rugged shore of Madeleine Islands National Park. Adapted to arid climates, these iconic giants store water in their swollen trunks. Below them, the volcanic coastline cradles tide pools and black rock beaches, forming a stark yet harmonious contrast with the Atlantic beyond.
