Ofu-Olosega

Nature
Ofu-Olosega is a paired volcanic landform in the Manuʻa Islands of American Samoa, made up of the shield-volcano remnants of Ofu and Olosega, separated by the shallow Āsaga Strait and linked by a bridge since 1970. Its rugged landscape includes Mount Tumutumu on Ofu and Mount Piumafua on Olosega, and the area’s most recent eruption occurred offshore in 1866. Ofu contains a harbor, airport, part of the National Park of American Samoa, and the biologically rich To'aga lagoon. Archaeological work at To'aga uncovered some of Samoa’s earliest known pottery, indicating about 3,000 years of continuous habitation. The islands also figured in early European contact with Samoa.
