The island of Guam is approximately 30 miles in length with a variable width, ranging from 12 miles to 4 miles at its narrowest point. The largest island in Micronesia, Guam has a total land mass of 212 square miles, excluding reef formations. Shaped like a footprint, Guam was formed by the union of two volcanoes. The island has two basic geological compositions. Two-thirds of Guam, the central and northern features, are primarily raised limestones with several volcanic formations at Mount Santa Rosa and Mount Mataguak. The northern clifflines drop precipitately into the sea with an elevation ranging from 300 to 600 feet. The southern features are basically volcanic with an elongated mountain ridge dividing the inland valleys and coastline. The highest point is Mount Lamlam with an elevation of 1,334 feet. The Peak of a submerged mountain, Guam, rises 37,820 feet above the floor of the Marianas Trench, the greatest ocean depth in the world. When visiting Guam, hiking up one of its mountains is like scaling a peak higher than Everest. A metal object would take 64 minutes to fall through the Marianas Trench, just east of Guam, with a depth of 6.79 miles, where pressure is over 18,000 pounds per square inch. The Marianas Trench was pinpointed in 1951 by the British Survey Ship Challenger

Following is a brief summary of Guam's history and Chamorro folklore that help to shape the unique culture and mix of peoples that is Guam today. The Ancient Chamorro Although the origin of the Chamorro race has never been definitively proven, the original inhabitants of Guam are believed to have been of Indo-Malaya descent originating from Southeast Asia as early as 2,000 BC, and having linguistic and cultural similarities to Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. The first historical Western document relating the physical features of the Chamorro was

The southern part of the island is mountainous, rising on Mt. Lamlam to 1,332 ft (406 m). Agana is the seat of government, and Apra Harbor, a large U.S. naval base, is nearby. The interior of the island is dense jungle; most of the villages are on the coast. Guamanians are U.S. citizens but cannot vote in U.S. elections. Guam's permanent inhabitants are predominantly of native Chamorro stock (37%) or Filipino descent (26%); the rest of the population mainly consists of roughly equal numbers of other Pacific Islanders, Caucasians, and other persons of Asian descent. The people are overwhelmingly Roman Catholic and speak English, Chamorro, and Japanese; English and Chamorro are official languages. Efforts to preserve the Chamorro language began in the 1990s. Some one fourth of the population consists of U.S. military personnel and their dependents. Providing goods and services for the huge U.S. bases is the major industry. Tourism, especially from Japan, is also important. Most inhabitants practice subsistence farming, but large-scale agriculture is no longer possible because military installations occupy so much land. Local leaders began pressing for access to military land in the 1990s, and several facilities have been turned over.

59. Bisita Guam Thanks to the World Wide Web, information about guam geography, history, climate,population, political system, government, and business opportunities http://www.bisitaguam.com/

I am pleased to extend to you a hearty welcome to our website which centers on the American territory of Guam in the Western Pacific, virtually on the other side of the world from our nation's capital, Washington, D.C. Since the turn of the century, Guam has served as America's turnstile to Asia in the Pacific Rim, where America's days begin. Thanks to the World Wide Web, information about Guam - geography, history, climate, population, political system, government, and business opportunities - is readily available from a variety of sources on the Internet. Bisita Guam offers additional information from the perspective of a native Chamorro who reflects on events and circumstances that have markedly affected his people culturally, linguistically, and religiously, among other things. Bisita Guam , which means, Visit Guam, takes the viewer through randomly selected episodes that project an entirely different dimension of our territory and our people from the usual dosage one gets from texts and tales of transients on their way elsewhere. Bisita Guam revolves primarily on the original native population, the Chamorros, their culture, their language, and their religious beliefs. It spans a large segment of history, from the days of European contact with Ferdinand Magellan in 1521, through the days of Spanish rulership for over 350 years, the Spanish - American War, and the Japanese occupation in World War II, up to the present time. Its primary goal is to sharpen the focus on those things that are important to our people with the hope that it would rekindle interest on the need to protect and preserve our precious natural and cultural resources. Its secondary goal is to provide those interested in knowing more about us with a glimpse of our beautiful and bountiful island through the eyes of one of her native sons.
