A week of maps: 1 The Maldive Islands


A short time ago, if you'd asked me where the Maldives were, I suspect I would have pointed vaguely in the direction of the Pacific Ocean.  Now that I have this map, sent to me from Australia, I know I was way off track.  The Maldive Islands are south of India and Sri Lanka, east of north Africa.  I've just spent far too long looking at the islands using Google maps and then clicking on the photos for the area.  Wonderful!   At least, unless the sea levels rise.
