i am so lucky to have been to the maldives twice! first time to filitheyo and second time meeru, probably all the island will be gone in 10 years so its better to go now rather than never no

The average elevation is actually 1 metre above sea level.

UNBELIEVEABLE seriously - thay have got over the tsunami really well!

[poolofmushygoo]

how are the maldives doing now ????

[nicoitalian]

I think they are doing "well", but some of the islands was destroyed totally. Some of they are rebuilt, some are destroyed forever!!! Maldives is one of the worlds poorest countries, but thanks for the tourism they can survive on that! If you never have been there. Take your next trip to this wonderful country.

I know 3 islands have been totally destroyed.

That's easy, when the highest point of the all country is about 4 meters above sea level... I'been at Maldives a year after the tsunami... "Only" a few island were hit, because of it's location... India protect the north part of the Maldives, by refelctinf the wave, down south...

[zedextreme8177]

I AM from the Maldives, and believe me, more than just a few islands were hit. 3 islands were completely destroyed.
