An atoll is a ring-shaped coral island or string of islands that surround a lagoon. Atolls typically form from volcanic islands that sink into the ocean, leaving a coral reef formation around the edge of the submerged island. The lagoon in the center of an atoll is often shallow and can support diverse marine life.
