Archipelagos

Simply put, an archipelago is an area of a sea or an ocean which contains a cluster of small and big islands. Though many archipelagos can be found all over the world, one of the best and the biggest example is the group of islands which make up the countries of Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines etc. In this area there are over 20,000 small islands spread over more than 5000 kilometres which form a part of various countries. Many of these islands are of volcanic origin and volcanic eruptions are still common in most.
