At the left the prominent hill on the coast is Apia Hill on the mountain crest is the wide ridge of Lepue (about 1000m) to its right the triple peaked Maugafiamoe (about 900m) which when lined up with the peak of Apia Hill provides excellent bearing from the sea for navigation to Apia. Finally, at the far right the wide crater of Lanuto'o (about 700m) conceals a lovely lake, the favorite excursion place of white people in Apia.
