Tuvalu:
A chain of nine Polynesian islands, Tuvalu, located in the Pacific Ocean halfway between Australia and Hawaii is the fourth smallest country in the world and has an average above sea level altitude of just over three feet. These Polynesian islands are the second lowest lying islands of the world after the Maldives. The predicted sea level rise could make these islands uninhabitable. Diving, snorkeling, swimming and sailing in the twenty square miles of coral reefs, lagoons and isolated islets that make up the Funafuti Conservation Area is the main highlight of visiting Tuvalu.
