Астравы Уоліс, Pacific archipelago in French Polynesia, France

The Wallis Islands consist of volcanic formations in the South Pacific Ocean, reaching an elevation of 151 meters above sea level.

Dutch explorers Jacob Lemaire and Willem Schouten first discovered these islands in 1616, followed by British navigator Samuel Wallis between 1766 and 1768.

The inhabitants of Wallis Islands maintain their Polynesian traditions through distinct languages, including Wallisian, alongside French as the official language.

Medical services across the Wallis Islands operate free of charge, with hospitals and clinics providing healthcare to the local population.

The islands function on a time zone of UTC-12, marking them as one of the last locations on Earth to experience each calendar day.
