People on Buru use several strategies to refer to geographical features on the landscape of their island. As on other eastern Indonesian islands, certain places are designated anthropomorphic metaphors, conceptualizing the island as a body. On Buru the large bay in the east (Kayeli Bay) is the "face" of the island. The range of mountains running east-west just to the south of the lake is called the "backbone of Buru island". Kak Pala Madat, the tallest mountain, towering 2,735 m high in the north-west of the island, is a "knee".
