British Virgin Islands island Anegada was photographed by ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen when he was on the Huginn Mission on September 23, 2023, from the International Space Station. Andreas wrote the following while posting the image to social media:
"It is the only inhabited island in the island group that is made of coral and limestone, all the other are of volcanic origin.
It is home to a few hundred people as well as several endangered animals, like the Anegada rock iguana, and a number of turtles species. The Caribbean flamingo also use to stay here in the thousands but disappeared in the 1950’s due to hunting. Now they are back in the hundreds."
