The karst landscapes in Misool area as seen from Harfat Peak - Dapunlol

The Zaag Limestone Complex in the Summalelen area, Misool, has a karst landscape involving old limestone. The highest hill in this area can be climbed to the top via a trail built by the locals.

The surrounding brownish limestone contains Numulites sp.
