Die in vielen tropischen Ländern „Baum des Himmels“ genannte Pflanze bietet den Bewohnern tropischer Küsten seit Jahrtausenden eine hervorragende Nahrungs- und Rohstoffquelle: mit ihren Früchten als gehaltvoller Nahrung und Getränk (roh oder vergoren), ihrem Holz als Baumaterial für Hütten, ihren Blättern als Dachbedeckung für diese, ihren Fasern zum Flechten von Hauswänden, Körben, Matten und ihren trockenen Kokosnussschalen als Brennmaterial.
Lecker: Kokusnussmilch mit Rum!

With the exception of a permanent ranger station, Cocos Island is an uninhabited island located off the shore of Costa Rica. Cocos Island is located in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 340 mi (550 km) from the Pacific shore of Costa Rica. With an area of approximately 9.2 sq. mi (23.8 sq. km) and a perimeter of around 14.4 mi (23.3 km), this island is approximately rectangular in shape.
Cocos Island is an oceanic island of both volcanic and tectonic origin. It is the only emergent island of the Cocos Plate, one of the earth's minor tectonic plates. Scientific testing established the age of the oldest rocks between 1.91-2.44 million years .
Cocos Island Geology
Cocos Island is composed primarily of basalt, which is formed by cooling lava. Thegeology is rather mountainous and irregular, and the summit is called Cerro Iglesias at 575.5 miles. In spite of its mountainous character, there are flatter areas between 656-–853 ft. (200-260 m) in elevation in the central part of the island. These areas are believed to be a transitional stage of the geomorphological cycle of V-shaped valleys. With four bays, three of them in the north side (Wafer, Chatham and Weston), Cocos Island has a large number of short rivers and streams that drain the abundant rainfall into them. Due to large range of approximately 300-foot (91.4 m) high cliffs that ring much of the island, the easiest point of entry is at Chatham Bay.
Cocos Island Climate
The largest rivers are named: Genio and the Pittier. These rivers drain their water into Wafer Bay. The mountainous landscape and the tropical climate combine to create more than 200waterfalls throughout the island. The island's soils are classified as entisols, which are highly acidic and could be easily eroded by the island's high rainfall on the steep slopes, if it was not for the dense forest coverage.
The climate of Cocos Island is known for the cloudiness and precipitation that is constant throughout the year. This makes the climate in the island humid and tropical with an average annual temperature of 74.5F (26.6C), and an average annual rainfall of more than 275 in. (699 cm). Rainfall is high throughout the year, although lower from January through March and slightly lower during late September and October.
Cocos Island Flora and Fauna
A number of oceanic currents from the central Pacific Ocean converge on the island also have an important influence on the weather. Cocos Island is home to dense and exuberant tropical moist forests. It is the only oceanic island in the eastern Pacific region with such rain forests and their characteristic types of flora and fauna. The cloud forests at higher elevations are also unique in the eastern Pacific. The island was never linked to a continent, so the flora and fauna arrived via long distance dispersal from North and South America. Cocos Island has therefore a high proportion of endemic species. #ourbreathingplanet

El cocotero es una palmera frutal del género Cocos, familia Arecaceae que crece unos 30 metros cuyo fruto es el coco. Pueden encontrarse ejemplares de cocoteros de más de 30 m de altura. Otra característica importante es que si la planta es cortada por el tronco, ésta muere y no vuelven a brotar hojas.
Las hojas de esta planta son de gran tamaño y su fruto, el coco, es uno de los mayores del mundo. Es también la semilla más grande que existe. El cocotero es una sola especie con múltiples variedades, diferenciadas básicamente por el color del fruto (amarillo o verde). Las plantas sólo presentan diferencias en el tallo.

Denkt u graag ‘out of the box’? Laat u inspireren door de speelse COCOS SIGMA met unieke vorm. In het midden zijn de buizen het breedst, naar boven en naar onder toe worden ze geleidelijk aan smaller. Het resultaat is een origineel, dynamisch ontwerp dat nooit onopgemerkt blijft. Een rondere uitvoering vindt u bij de COCOS TAIYOU. Liever een recht volume? Ontdek dan zeker de COCOS BETA en de COCOS RHO. www.vasco.eu
Day 4 in Vienna ... another day with our City Passes.
So we jumped on the U-bahn (the green line) to Schonbrunn Palace.
In addition to the palace itself, which is huge, there are extensive gardens, which include a Palm House, full of exotic tropical plants, and a Desert House.
Just a few steps across the path is the wonderful Palm House.
The Palmenhaus Schönbrunn is a large greenhouse featuring plants from around the world. It opened in 1882. It is the most prominent of the four greenhouses in Schönbrunn Palace Park, and is also among the largest botanical exhibits of its kind in the world, with around 4,500 plant species.
Built of steel, the Palmenhaus is 111 metres long, 28 metres wide and 25 metres high, and has 45,000 glass tiles. There are annexes on the north and south sides, serving as a coldhouse and a hothouse respectively.
