Tropical island surrounded by turquoise water and coral reef

Aerial photograph documenting isolated atoll with dense tropical vegetation canopy, white sand beach perimeter, and shallow turquoise lagoon. Water stratification visible: bright cyan shallow areas transitioning through deeper teal channels to dark blue ocean. Coral formations create distinctive darker shadows beneath surface. Vegetation density uniform across island topography, composed of coconut palms and dense understory. Shallow reef structure extends outward, creating characteristic gradient from transparent cyan shallows to opaque deep water beyond outer reef edge.
