Fuvahmulah

The island is about 4.5 km by 1.2 km with a submerged reef extending for about three km in a SE direction. In the distant past fuamulaku was a small coral atoll whoes southern end was open at a spot called Diyarehifaando and the inside of the island was a saltwater lagoon forming a natural harbor, In time the inner lagoon lost its saltiness and all that remains today are small lakes, wetlands and marshy taro fields.Therefore Fuamulaku is a small Atoll that closed and filled in with silt. The Northern lake of the island is known as 'Dhadimagi-Kilhi' and the southern is known as 'Bandaara-Kihi'.Lacking a lagoon and being subject to violent ocean swells, FuvahMulah island was often inaccessible to seafarers. Recently a harbor has been built at the SE top of the island, but its not easy to use in the often-harsh weather conditions.
