Maldives

The archipelago of the Maldives is located almost in the center of the Indian Ocean, about 700 km west of Sri Lanka. The Republic of Maldives is an island nation comprising about 1,200 islands and islets. The coral atolls that make up the elongated archipelago, i.e. the Maldives, stretch for more than 800 km.

The average height of the islands is only two meters above sea level, so there is a constant threat of flooding, increasing with the onset of global warming. And this, of course, is the biggest problem for local authorities and residents of the archipelago.

The Maldives is just the perfect place for lovers of sailing, diving and windsurfing. We must not forget the sandy beaches, turquoise lagoons and countless species of fish that can only be admired here. The capital of the Maldives is Male.
