About Tuvalu
Tuvalu is one of the world's smallest and lowest-lying nations, a string of coral atolls in the central Pacific where daily life unfolds around a narrow strip of land barely above sea level. The capital atoll of Funafuti has a tight-knit community, clear lagoon waters for swimming and snorkeling, and a quiet resilience as it faces the realities of rising seas.
