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 disappearing to the ocean. 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.
