Halfway is a roughly triangular island in the [[Sea of Canete]], sitting about two hundred miles to the east of northeastern [[Sarpedon]]. Halfway has an area of about 10,600 square miles. The island is situated just below the equator. The island was formed from an ancient volcano, known as Mount Pinefor and the associated Mount Pinefor range, which is the primary topographical feature of the island. Mount Pinefor sits at the center of the island, with the island's highest point being roughly its geographical center; Mount Pinefor gently slopes down from the island's center to a ring-shaped coastal plain that makes up the island's coasts. Accordingly, the island's bays and harbors are well suited for human settlement and commercial applications, giving Halfway its historic reputation as a trade center. | Halfway is a roughly triangular island in the [[Sea of Canete]], sitting about two hundred miles to the east of northeastern [[Sarpedon]].
