The Saleaula Lava Fields are located on the island of Samoa, specifically on the island of Savai'i. These fields were formed by volcanic eruptions from the nearby Mount Matavanu between 1905 and 1911. The lava flows covered several villages, including the historic village of Saleaula, leaving behind a unique landscape of hardened lava rock and volcanic formations.
Today, the Saleaula Lava Fields are a popular tourist destination, showcasing the power of nature and the impact of volcanic activity. Visitors can explore the remnants of the buried village, including the ruins of the St. Joseph's Catholic Church, which still stands amidst the lava.
