Saint Martin. The name itself brings joy to the tour loving people of Bangladesh as it is considered as the only Coral Island of the country. But is that really true? How does a coral island form? And are there any criteria to fulfill to be considered as a coral island? Also, Saint Martin of Bangladesh is not the only island with the same name. There is another Island in the Caribbean sea with the name Saint Martin/ Sint Maarten. Finally, who was really Saint Martin? To get the answers of all these questions and also learn the geography of Saint Martin's Island through Map animations and infographics watch this video!
