The Witu Islands (Vitu Islands) (4°42'S., 149°16'E.) consist of several islands and widely scattered reefs. There are scattered dangers around the islands, but the channels between the islands and reefs are wide and deep. The Witu Islands are of volcanic origin and between 152 to 590m high; they are partly or entirely reef fringed. Unea Island and Garove Island are mountainous and are the most important islands. The lesser islands of the Witu Islands are wooded, hilly, and mountainous; there are probably very few areas of low lying terrain on the islands.
