Nuʻulopa

Nuʻulopa is a small uninhabited island in the Apolima Strait between the islands of Upolu and Savaiʻi in Samoa. The island is part of Aiga-i-le-Tai district.

Nuʻulopa is about 50m high. It is also a small forested rocky outcrop with coconut palms (Cocos nucifera) and a conservation area for flying foxes. The surrounding sea is a conservation area for turtles.[1]

Nu'ulopa sits between another two islands Apolima and Manono. The islands lie on an underwater ridge connecting the two main islands of Upolu and Savai'i.

Nu'ulopa is generally used as a cemetery for the high chiefs (matai) of Manono.

gollark: I mean, in practical use you'd just do `sorted`, so they somewhat have to be.
