Tuvalu 🇹🇻

Tuvalu is an island country in Oceania, located halfway between the Hawaiian Islands and Australia. It is one of the smallest countries in the world, with a population of less than 12 thousand people. Here is an incredibly beautiful exotic nature: blue lagoons of the Pacific Ocean, white sand, luxurious palm trees, but also full of its own problems.

Tuvalu is located on 3 reef islands and 6 atolls. The distances between the neighboring islands range from 50 to 172 km .

The center of the country is Funafuti Atoll, where about half of the country's population lives. It consists of small islands with a lagoon in the middle. The highest point of Tuvalu is 5 m above sea level, and most of the islands are at an altitude of 3 m.

Scientists predict that in 50-100 years, the islands of Tuvalu may become uninhabited if the water level in the ocean continues to rise. And according to some forecasts, Tuvalu will sooner or later go under water.
