Sularahatehingud

Sularahatehingud, also known as the Sularahatehingu, are a group of small, low-lying islands located in the Indian Ocean, approximately 1,000 kilometers southwest of the Maldives. The archipelago consists of 11 islands, with a total land area of about 1.5 square kilometers. The islands are part of the Maldives, but they are not inhabited and are not part of the country's administrative divisions. Sularahatehingud is a term derived from the Dhivehi language, meaning "small islands."

The islands are characterized by their low elevation, with the highest point being only about 2 meters above sea level. This makes them highly vulnerable to sea-level rise and storm surges. The islands are also known for their rich biodiversity, with a variety of marine life, including coral reefs, fish, and sea turtles. However, the islands face threats from overfishing, pollution, and climate change.

Sularahatehingud are not officially recognized as a part of the Maldives, and there are no plans to develop or inhabit the islands. The Maldivian government has expressed interest in preserving the islands' natural environment and has implemented measures to protect them. The islands are also a popular destination for scuba divers and snorkelers, who come to explore the underwater world of Sularahatehingud.
