Aluvifushi (U) - [ Nilandhe Atholhu Dhekunuburi (Dhaalu Atoll) ]
Alifushi and Etthingili (Powell Islands in the Admiralty Chart) stand on a detached reef of their own with very deep waters (no sounding) between this isolated reef shelf and the northern end of the main Northern Maalhosmadulhu Atoll. Captain Robert Moresby named this small island group after Lieutenant F.F. Powell who assisted during the difficult survey of the Atolls of the Maldives in 1834-36. Later promoted to Captain, Powell went on to survey the NW coast of Ceylon.
