Mauritius' main island, from which the country derives its name, is of volcanic origin and is almost entirely surrounded by coral reefs. It was the home of the dodo, a large flightless bird related to pigeons, driven to extinction by the end of the 17th century through a combination of hunting and the introduction of predatory species. All in all, the island is a great place to contemplate the impermanence of life. Where on the island would you most like to do that?
