Maldives Airports Company Limited, Malé International Airport Geography of Maldive Islands The Maldives cover an area of 90,000 sq.km and lie between Latitude 7 degree 6' 30" N to degree 41' 30" S, and Longitude 72 degree 32' 30" E to 73 degree 45' 15" E. Estimates of the number of islands differs, depending on the definition of an island. Officially there are 1190 islands having "some form of vegetation on them, whether grass or bushes or trees". The actual number varies at times as islands are sometimes washed away and new ones are formed. The islands are divided into 26 geographic Atolls. Minicoy is the 27th Atoll but it was linked to India in 1753 during the time of sultan al Mukarram Mohamed Imadudeen III (1750 - 1757 AD). For convenience, these Atolls are divided into 19 administrative groups and named according to the letters of the Maldivian alphabet. In the resort Atolls, Felidhoo Atoll is now referred to as Vaavu, Ari Atoll as Alifu, Male' Atoll as Kaafu, Faadhippolhu Atoll as Lhaviynai, south Maalhosmadulu Atoll as Baa and Addoo Atoll as Seenu. Formation of Maldive Islands The sea covers 99% of the Maldives and inside its blue depths lies the mysteries and riddles related to the formation of the Maldives. The islands are formed around a ring shaped coral reef encircling a lagoon. This reef structure, typical of Maldives, is called an atoll. In fact, the English word 'atoll' itself is derived from the Maldivian or dhivehi word for it-atholhu. There are 26 natural atolls in the Maldives.
