Nauru

A broad sweep of coral-fringed coastline on Nauru's eastern side, known for its relatively clear waters, accessible reef edge and gentle slope into the ocean.

Nauru's largest and only true freshwater lake, a slightly brackish endorheic lagoon surrounded by lush vegetation in the interior.

The highest natural point on Nauru at 65 metres, bearing the remains of a Japanese signal station from World War II and commanding panoramic views across the mined interior.

The sole airport serving Nauru, a small airstrip that bisects the island and is notable for its unique configuration where the runway crosses the island's main road at ground level.

The mined interior plateau of Nauru where phosphate extraction over a century left a distinctive landscape of limestone pinnacles, exposed coral and deep sinkholes.

Nauru's de facto capital district, home to the Parliament building, government offices and the country's main administrative infrastructure despite not being the official capital by name.
