Description

Gunu Moganebalango is a forested hill in the Buton Island area of Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The prefix "gunu" in local toponyms is likely a regional form of the word "gunung" (mountain), while the meaning of "Moganebalango" could not be verified and is not asserted here. The feature is documented only through the NGA-GNS geographic database and its derivatives: Wikidata (Q25069489), GeoNames (ID 1976874), a single bot-generated Cebuano Wikipedia stub, and OpenStreetMap node 1070155238 (tagged natural=peak). Its elevation is about 437 m with a prominence of roughly 249 m above the surrounding terrain and a hill-body width of about 7.8 km — estimates from digital elevation models (SRTM/DEM) rather than a field survey; Wikidata, OSM, and GeoNames list no surveyed figure. The surrounding area is forested hill country with a monsoon climate (averaging about 23 °C), wettest in June and driest in September, and sparse population density. No official hiking trail, tourism coverage, news record, or climbing account could be found for this specific hill, and no free-licensed photograph of the peak itself is available.
