Imagine a whole country formed by aquatic animals. Such is the geological make up of the Republic of Maldives. These small, idyllic islands, sprinkled on the surface of the deep Indian Ocean, owe their existence to the fervent work of minute coral polyps.

This guide is ideal for first-time visitors. It includes over 25 full color area maps, town plans and locator maps and over 95 full color photographs. (5 x 7, 128 pages, color maps, color photos)
