Savai’i, the "soul of Samoa", is the larger main island in the state of Samoa, formed by a massive basaltic shield volcano which rises from the seafloor of the western Pacific Ocean. Savai’i is an active volcano, which last erupted in 1911 with lava flows. Home to approximately 50,000 people, it is less developed than Upolu, the other main island. The ports of Salelologa and Asau are situated on Savai’i.
