2016 Aerial View of One of Tuvalu’s Outer Islands
This aerial photograph shows one of Tuvalu’s low-lying outer coral islands in the Pacific Ocean.
The island appears as a narrow strip of land surrounded by reef, lagoon, and open sea.
Its fragile shape highlights the geography of Tuvalu, a small island nation made up of coral islands and atolls with very low elevation.
The image is powerful because it visually expresses Tuvalu’s vulnerability to rising sea levels and climate change.
According to the published caption, the island was photographed from the airplane that lands at the capital, Funafuti, twice a week.
