Mount Lamlam (meaning lightning in Chamoru) is a peak on the island of Guam. It is located in the village of Agat, in the southwest of the island. At 1,332 feet (406 m), it is the highest peak in Guam. The distance from the peak to the bottom of the nearby Mariana Trench is the greatest change in elevation on Earth over such a short distance.[1]
