Sarolasta comprises 25 major islands and hundreds of lesser islets and atolls too small to appear on most world maps, most of which are not permanently inhabited but may be visited by humans for traditional ritual or fishing purposes, or for military, meteorological, or conservation activities. The islands are delimited into five cardinal island groups (''deva-èsoxoron''), listed below in order from north to south: | |||
*'''Sarao (''Saraö'')''' - Four major islands | |||
*'''Marian Isles (''Varyaīonya'')''' - Twelve major islands, subdivided among three subgroups | |||
*'''Grand Sarolasta (''Ambrisarolastaīon'')''' - By far the largest and most populated and developed island, with outlying satellite islets | |||
*'''Songva-Ngatra (''Songva-Ēngatra'') ''' - Group of four major islands directly south of Grand Sarolasta's Tarunua Peninsula | |||
*'''Katorue (''Katoruév'')''' - Remote group of three major islands far to the southeast of Songva, with which it is culturally and historically associated. | |||
The archipelago spans approximately 1,430 [[Levantine customary units|miles]] (1,243 {{wp|nautical miles}}) from north to south. This is roughly equivalent to the distance from the southernmost point of [[Great Kirav]] at [[Point Prevalka]] to [[Cities of Kiravia#Glengarry-Glenross|Glenross]], [[Devahoma]]. | |||
<br> | <br> | ||
<br> | <br> | ||
<br> | <br> | ||
Straddling the equator, the entire archipelago has a tropical maritime climate, with high temperatures and heavy precipitation year-round. It is well-within the hurricane belt, and cyclonic tropical storms are a major natural hazard. | |||
