Mount Lamlam

Mount Lamlam, whose Chamoru name means “lightning,” is a peak in southwestern Guam in the western Pacific, near the village of Agat. Rising 406 meters above sea level, it is most notable for its closeness to the Mariana Trench. From its summit to the nearby trench floor, the change in elevation is often characterized as the greatest on Earth over such a short distance. This striking geographic relationship has made Mount Lamlam one of Guam’s notable natural landmarks.
