Travel Agents Guides Culture Resorts Packages Tips! Picture Gallery ] Subscribe To This Site Maldives Geography The Physical Story Maldives geography is all about extremes of numbers. A country of South Asia situated in the Indian Ocean south-southwest of India the Maldives consists of about 1,200 coral islands. These are roughly grouped into 27 atolls and spread over about 90,000 square kilometres of ocean. This makes the Maldives one of the most distinct countries in the world. Composed of live coral reefs and sand bars, the atolls are situated atop a volcanic ridge 960 km long that rises from the depths of the Indian Ocean and traverses north to south. They are not just any islands… The geography of the Maldives is like an onion. Stick with me as I intend to go somewhere with this… Like an onion it has many layers… Let me give you an example: The beaches in Maldives… Yes they’re a tourist attraction in the Maldives. “Of course they are!” I hear you cry … “we sit on them it’s the reason we go!” Physically, the first layer of the onion is sitting on those Maldives beaches. The next layer is the whiteness of the sand and its texture.

It became a republic in 1968, three years after independence. Since 1978, President Maumoon Abdul GAYOOM - currently in his sixth term in office - has dominated the islands' political scene. Following riots in the capital Male in August 2004, the president and his government have pledged to embark upon democratic reforms, including a more representative political system and expanded political freedoms. Tourism and fishing are being developed on the archipelago.

Home Maldives Fiji Seychelles ... Maldives Geography The beautiful archipelago of around 1,190 tiny islands in 26 naturally occurring atolls that is the Maldives straddles the equator to the South West of Sri Lanka. The 26 natural atolls are divided into 20 administrative ones, with the capital Male’ established as an entity of its own forming the twenty-first division. Together with the Lakshadweep formerly called Laccadive Islands (formerly part of the Maldives, and now part of India) to the north and the Chagos Islands to the south, the Maldives form part of a vast submerged mountain range, on the crest of which coral reefs have grown. The perfection of the Maldivian atolls is attested to by the fact that that the word ‘atoll’ in the English Language – meaning ‘ring-shaped coral reef enclosing a lagoon’, is a borrowing from the Maldivian language – Dhivehi. Only 202 of the islands that stretches 820 kilometres north to south and 120 kilometres east to west are inhabited; 990 uninhabited and 87 are exclusive resort islands. Of her total 298 km2 (34, 750 square miles) area, 99 percent of the Maldives is sea and only 0.331 percent, 298 km2 (115 square miles) is land. .The exact number of islands in the archipelago remains an unsolved mystery to this day. The British Admiralty chart lists some 1,100 islands, while a recent government count records 1,196. If sand bars and coral outcrops were included the figure would be closer to 2,000. Obtaining an accurate figure is further impeded by the fact that islands form while others disappear. Some islands are known to have combined, as others have split in to two and occasionally new islets have been known to form over coral reefs.

A string of islands form fascinating patterns as they lie scattered across the equator to the South West of Sri Lanka. Formed over the 2000 kms Laccadives - Chagos ridge, the Maldivian islands stretch from the North to South for over 820 kms and from East to West for over 120 kms. In total Maldives covers an area of approximately 90,000km2. Only 1% of this is land with the rest being water. An archipelago of 1190 islands, formed in a collection of 26 beautiful atolls constitutes Maldives. An atoll is best described as a series of concentric layers, with a strong reef constituting the outermost layer. This reef is composed of coral debris and living coral. This strong reef acts as a natural barrier against rough seas. The Islands set at a distance and parallel to this reef, have their own protective fringe of reef. A break in this coral fringe allows you access to the calmer waters which form the lagoons.
