Sail Rock is located north-west of the island ofTongoa, between the latter andEpi. The islet has an elevation of 15 m above the sea level.
Fatumiala and the other islands scattered around Tongoa (Laika,Tefala) were once part of a larger landmass, which constituted the emerged part of theKuwae submarine volcano and which united Tongoa with Epi. The volcano'scaldera exploded around 1452, creating small islands.[1][2]
