11 Marovo Lagoon, Solomon Islands
The impressive Marovo Lagoon is the most distinguished double-barrier enclosed lagoon system. This double-barrier lagoon is the product of many, many years of volcanic activity initiated by the submarine volcano known as Kavachi. It is approximately 25 kilometers off the southwest shore of the Solomon Islands’ Vangunu Island.
