Discover Tuvalu
Tuvalu is a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, made of nine small islands and atolls. From the air they look like thin strips of green land floating on blue water, ringed by coral reefs. The capital is Funafuti. People say "Talofa," and the currency is the Australian dollar.
Some of the islands are only a few hundred metres wide. Life here is close to the sea, the reef, and the wide Pacific.
