It is over 26 kilometres (16 mi) long and almost 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) wide at the widest point, and is also mountainous and was formerly (pre-2000) densely wooded. Mt.

Sedungal, at the east end of the island rises to 489 metres (1,604 ft). The south side of the island is only separated from the mainland by a shallow channel known as the Trusan Sigalong. It is located at 4°38′25″N 118°28′29″E with an area of 114.97 square kilometres (44.39 sq mi).
