During the summer months, the Faroe Islands' striking landscapes are bathed in dreamy evening light.

Stars and battery-powered lights illuminate the story team's camp.

Camels are still actively used as pack animals on Socotra. These farmers are crossing a pass in the Haggier Mountains outside Hadibou. The highest peak in the range reaches some 1,600 metres (5,000 feet).

The story team got around the island in an SUV.

Limestone caves on Socotra have been inhabited since humans first settled the island thousands of years ago. They're still used as both homes and storage facilities.

Abdullah Aliyuh, aka Abdulla the Caveman, pushes his raft as he collects oysters in the sea in front of his cave—a haven from his more boring life in town.

This dragon's blood tree was uprooted by one of several cyclones that have struck the island in recent years.

The branches and foliage of the dragon's blood tree offer much-needed shade on the desert island.

For centuries Socotrans have harvested the resin of the dragon's blood tree, which is prized both as a colouring agent and for its supposed medicinal properties.

The desert rose or bottle tree, Adenium obesum, is another arboreal oddity on Socotra. Behind this one, in the shade of a frankincense tree, stands a goat—an invasive species that is a scourge of young trees on the island.
