Tuvalu, some islands that could disappear

Tuvalu is an island-nation located in the Pacific Ocean , between Hawaii and Australia. It is the fourth smallest country in the world. The countries that border it are Samoa , Kiribati and the Fiji Islands . Curiously, the continuity of the nation may be in jeopardy in the coming years because its islands are only 5 meters above sea level. Its inhabitants could be evacuated to New Zealand or Niue in the coming decades.

Life in Tuvalu is complicated. There is no potable water and the land is hardly enough to grow anything . Despite this, it is a very beautiful place worth visiting once in a lifetime. It may be that in a few years the sea level will rise and we will not be able to enjoy these beautiful islands.
