The least-visited country in the world may be the first to disappear

One of the most naturally beautiful countries in the world is also one of the least visited, but most of us may never get to visit before the nation disappears. Tuvalu is an island country in the west-central Pacific Ocean, sitting about halfway between Australia and Hawaii. It’s a coral atoll nation, which means it sits on a ring-shaped coral reef encircling a lagoon, with islands along the rim. The country is a stunning oasis, but faces the threat of disappearing completely from the face of the Earth. Click through to find out about the people, the culture, the devastation it faces, and more about this unique community.

The northern lights: nature's most beautiful phenomenon

The aurora borealis is a stunning natural phenomenon that blows away anyone lucky enough to catch a glimpse of it. Science says it is the result of sun particles colliding with the Earth's atmosphere, but Icelandic legends say the magical lights are angels dancing in the sky! This spectacular natural light show is usually associated with Europe's most northern countries like Iceland, Sweden, and Denmark, where it's most visible. However, this aurora season, which kicks off in March close to the spring equinox, the world is getting an extra-special visit. The northern lights have been visible in locations across northern US states and Europe with spectacular clarity. A geomagnetic storm was forecast to begin on March 23 which strengthens the appearance of the aurora borealis. Photos taken by skywatchers in the early morning on Friday, March 24, showed incredible pink and green light waves adorning the skies in France, England, and US states like Minnesota and Montana. Residents of these areas rarely see the northern lights, and certainly not with this level of visibility. Some lucky travelers whose planes passed through these northern regions on Friday morning felt as if they were flying through some exotic, far-flung galaxy. If the storm continues, the Space Weather Prediction Center says that the lights might dip as far south as London or Washington D.C. If you missed the live show, don't worry. Click on for dazzling photos of the phenomena and learn all about the aurora borealis.
