“God first made Mauritius and from it, he created Paradise.” Mark Twain 1896

“上帝先是创造了毛里求斯，而在毛里求斯，上帝创造了天堂。”马克.吐温 1896

Where is it? 毛里求斯在哪？

Over ten million years ago, the waters of the Indian Ocean boiled. Massive volcanoes erupted miles underneath the surface. Huge amounts of lava were forced up. This violence and force gave birth to a series of islands, today called the Mascarene Islands, located over 500 miles to the East of Madagascar, off the coast of Africa. These include the islands of Reunion, Rodrigues and the most famous of all – Mauritius.

一千多万年前，印度洋的海水沸腾起来。大量的火山在海平面数英里出爆发了。大量的火山岩堆积起来。这种强大的力量促使了许多岛屿的诞生，而当前被称作“马斯克林群岛”，位于非洲海岸线附近的马达加斯加岛以东的五百多英里外。这些岛屿包括留尼汪岛，罗格里德斯群岛，以及最著名的——毛里求斯岛。
