Maldives Natural View from the Maldives Heights

The Maldives is known for its low-lying geography, with the highest point in the entire country being only about 2.4 meters (7.9 feet) above sea level. The Maldives consists of a chain of coral atolls in the Indian Ocean, and its average ground level is just a few feet above the sea, making it one of the lowest-lying countries in the world. Due to its vulnerability to rising sea levels, the Maldives is particularly concerned about the impacts of climate change and has been actively involved in climate change advocacy.
