Atolls

This is a great photograph of Bora Bora, French Polynesia. Bora Bora is one of the most sought after destinations in the world - making it one of most expensive places to vacation. Judging from this picture, I'd pony up the cash and sit on a plane for 20 hours to enjoy the view here.

What makes this such a unique destination - is that Bora Bora is an atoll - def: is an island (or islands) of coral that encircles a lagoon partially or completely. The Pacific Ocean possesses the most atolls on earth. The Maldives, Seychelles and Solomon Islands, all have atolls in their island groups - just to name a few. Google Image atoll - it should impress and possibly encourage additional funds transferred to savings.
