Description Off the northern coast of Mozambique lies the island the country is named after - Ilha de Moçambique. It was settled in the 1400s by Portuguese explorers. Today, the island is inhabited by local fisherman. This shot captures these men hard at work in the stunning blue waters of the Indian Ocean.
