The island lies 2.6 km north-west of the small island of Laika, 9.4 km north of the island of Tongoa, and east of Epi.[2]
Geologyedit
Tefala and other small islands scattered around Tongoa (Laika, Sail Rock) were once a part of a larger landmass formed by the eruptions of the submarine volcano of Kuwae in the second half of the 15th century.[3] The volcanic arc, called the New Hebrides arc, is home to a number of more famous volcanoes, such as Yasur, Gaua, and Ambrym.[4]
