About Tuvalu

The cartographers put Tuvalu in Micronesia but sociologists would prefer to cart them off to Polynesia, as culturally that is where the majority of the inhabitants originated from.

Travel Map Mapping Tuvalu

Map of Tuvalu

Formerly known as the Ellice Islands, Tuvalu is a group of atolls, south of the Equator and north of Fiji. The main island of Funafuti is the capital.

The total land area is only about 26 square kilometres, but the nine islands on the coral atolls extend to almost 600 kilometres.

Map of Tuvalu

In 1974, ethnic differences within the British colony of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands caused the Polynesians of the Ellice Islands to vote for separation from the Micronesians of the Gilbert Islands.

The following year, the Ellice Islands became the separate British colony of Tuvalu.

Tuvalu achieved independence in 1978, but still relies heavily on a trust fund set up by Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand.
