Command Ridge, rising 65 meters above sea level, is the highest point on Nauru and a site of historical significance.

Visitors can explore the remnants, such as rusting guns and underground chambers, while enjoying sweeping views of the island's interior and coastline. The site provides a poignant glimpse into Nauru's wartime past and a peaceful vantage point for photography.
