These isolated spots of land, the above water tips of undersea mountains, are famed for their beautiful lagoons, reefs, fabulous fishing, and collectible postage stamps. The land now called Tuvalu was first settled by the Polynesians some 2,000 ago. Arrivals included those from Samoa, Tonga and Kiribati. The Spanish explorer Mendana reportedly sighted the islands in 1568. The first Europeans arrived In the early 19th century, and the islands changed forever. In fact, some islanders were subsequently enslaved and forced to work. In 1892 the British convinced the islanders to join the Gilbert Islands protectorate; later to be called the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony. Almost fifty years later, during World War II, the U.S. used the islands as a military base to combat Japanese invasions in the Pacific. In the mid 1970s the islands seceded from the Gilbert Ellise Colony, officially changing their collective name to Tuvalu, and became an independent nation. Its government remains a part of the British Commonwealth as a parliamentary democracy. The economy of Tuvalu is agricultural based, and though an ideal venue for tourism, the islands are yet to fully develop that industry. The only airport is located on the Funafuti Atoll, and transportation between islands is by boat.

The Tuvalu Meteorological Office has warned that much of the main island, Funafuti, may be flooded for up to six hours. One of the lowest-lying countries in the world, Tuvalu would be most at risk from rising sea levels were they to result from a major warming of the planet. No point in Tuvalu is more than 4.5 metres above sea level. The exceptionally high spring tides this weekend are expected to reach 3.2 metres above normal sea level. If high winds and waves coincide with the tides, then the vast majority of the land could be swamped. 9 March, 2000, Students killed in Tuvalu fire. 17 female students died in a fire at the country's only secondary school. A woman staff member was also killed when the blaze swept through a dormitory at the school on the island of Vaitupu. The dormitory was locked at the time, but 19 students managed to escape by breaking down a door. 1 May, 2002.
