caption_attribution_description: NOAA Ship HI'IALAKAI seen offshore at Fagatele Bay, American Samoa. View on the most southerly point of Samoa (excluding Rose Atoll, also of the US), named Steps Point.
context_page_description: Fogama'a Crater is a valley basin on Tutuila Island, American Samoa, immediately north of Larsen Bay. It is within the village of Futiga, just below Logotala Hill. It is a prominent crater on the island. The Fogama'a Crater National Natural Landmark contains 485 acres and was designated in 1972. It is scenic and geologically significant as the most recent illustration of volcanism in American Samoa. It is one of very few places where illustrations of the most recent episode of American Samoa volcanism can be seen.
  The crater is situated immediately inland from Larsen Bay, which contains two smaller coves: Fagalua and Fogama'a. Fogama'a Cove is an idyllic and isolated beach on the inner margin of Larsen's Bay. There are extensive seabird breeding grounds in Larsen's Bay.
  Fogama'a Crater National Natural Landmark is located next to Fagatele Bay and also includes Steps Point, which is the farthest southern point of U.S. territory.
