Welcome to <strong>Maldives</strong><br />

Geography<br />

The atolls of the <strong>Maldives</strong> are formed<br />

from coral structures. The atolls are<br />

part of a greater structure known as<br />

the Laccadives-Chagos Ridge, which<br />

stretches over 2000 kilometers. The<br />

islands are low lying with the highest<br />

point at approximately eight feet<br />

above sea level. Ring-shaped reef<br />

structures form the atolls and these<br />

reefs provide the natural defense<br />

against wind and wave action on<br />

these delicate islands.<br />
