Description
Living on Christmas Island | How People Live Among 100 Million Red Crabs | 4K Travel Documentary
In the middle of the Indian Ocean, an island belonging to Australia sits almost on Indonesia’s doorstep.
Each year, when the first rains of the wet season return, around one hundred million red crabs emerge from the forest at once. They flood across roads, bring traffic to a stop, and force the entire island to temporarily make way for them.
But the real curiosity goes beyond this extraordinary spectacle. It lies in how the people who still call this island home have learned to live in a world that has never belonged to humans alone.
So what happens when an entire community must adjust its daily life to the migration of a crab?
And beyond the famous images, what is Christmas Island really like?
