From a coastal belt varying in width from in width, the island rises sharply to the summit of Mount Vineuo, above sea level, making it one of the most precipitous islands in the world.〔()〕 The small island of Wagifa Island lies to the south-east of the island and is included within Goodenoughs administration.
==Climate and vegetation==
Like much of New Guinea, the climate is tropical with high temperatures and humidity throughout the year. The northwest monsoon season lasts from December to March and brings sudden rain squalls. From May to October southeasterly winds are cooler and more gentle. Tropical cyclones are infrequent. Rainfall varies between 1,520 mm and 2,540 mm per annum. Serious droughts occur once or twice a decade. Rushing streams with waterfalls drain water from the central mountain. Rain forest cloaks the higher elevations with secondary forest, grassland and native gardens on the lower slopes and coastal plains. Soils are acid.
