The wreck of the ship 'Van Camp' lies off of the coast of the island of Fongafale in the Funafuti atoll. The ship ran aground during a typhoon in the 1970's. The last remnants of the ship's shell are slowly dissapearing to the ocean, as modern vessels (in background) continue to ply the waters nearby. Tuvalu is made up of a collection of small islands and coral atolls, totalling only 27 square kilometres, scattered over 500,000 square kilometres of ocean. The highest point throughout the country is only 5 metres above sea level, resulting in special vulnerability to sea level rise. Funafuti, Tuvalu. March, 2019.
