The Maldives is made up of 26 atolls consisting of over 1,000 coral islands, with only 200 of them inhabited. The Maldives is a popular destination for honeymooners, scuba divers, and luxury travelers, as it offers some of the most luxurious resorts and overwater bungalows in the world. The country's economy is largely dependent on tourism, with many resorts offering all-inclusive packages and world-class amenities. In addition to its beautiful beaches and resorts, the Maldives is also known for its rich marine biodiversity. The country is home to a diverse range of marine life, including colorful fish, dolphins, sea turtles, and whale sharks. The Maldives is a top destination for diving and snorkeling, with many dive sites offering the chance to see manta rays, reef sharks, and other marine creatures up close. While the Maldives is a popular luxury destination, it is also a great place to experience local Maldivian culture and traditions. Visitors can explore the capital city of Male, visit local markets, and sample traditional Maldivian cuisine. The Maldives is also a Muslim-majority country, so visitors should be respectful of local customs and dress modestly when outside of resort areas.

Fog: Fog is a natural weather phenomenon that occurs when the air near the ground cools and becomes saturated with water vapor. This can happen when warm, moist air comes into contact with cooler air, causing the moisture to condense into tiny droplets that create a misty, low-lying cloud. Fog can be found in many different types of environments, including coastal areas, valleys, and forests. Mike Lake: Mike Lake is a member of the Canadian Parliament, representing the riding of Edmonton-Wetaskiwin in Alberta. He was first elected in 2006 and has since been re-elected five times.
