Maldives from the air
A few of over a thousand islands, of which roughly 300 are inhabited.
With an average ground-level elevation of 1.5 metres above sea level, the Maldives are the world's lowest country, with its highest natural point being only at 2.4 metres. Due to the consequent risks posed by rising sea levels, the government pledged in 2009 to make the Maldives a carbon-neutral country by 2019. A desperate effort in an interdependent world, as long as others don't up their game.
Diesmal mit Wölkchen... Die in ihrer Unschuld in keinem Verhältnis stehen zu den symbolischen schwarzen Wolken, die am Horizont dräuen.
