Note
"Taʻū is the largest island in the Manuʻa Group and the easternmost volcanic island of the Samoan Islands. Taʻū is part of American Samoa. In the early 19th century, the island was sometimes called Opoun.

Taʻū is well known as the site where the American anthropologist Margaret Mead conducted her dissertation research in Samoa in the 1920s, where she published her findings in Coming of Age in Samoa. Ta’u is also home to the highest mountain in American Samoa, Mount Lata. It is home to 21 square kilometers (8.3 sq mi) of National Park lands and 3.9 km2 (1.5 sq mi) of waters separated by some of the tallest sea cliffs in the world." - (en.wikipedia.org 23.09.2020)
