Ngerikuul Bay (also: Arumizu Bay , Arumizu Wan , Iwayama Bay , Iwayama-wan , Songel A Lise Lagoon ) is a bay or lagoon in the island state of Palau , which separates the island of Koror from Ulebsechel .
geography
The bay stretches from west to southeast and begins like a channel between the two islands. It widens in the east due to the arched shape of Koror, which forms a bay with the Ngermeuangel Peninsula that is crossed by about 16 of the Rock Islands . These islands are:
- Iberor Islets
- Kuat
- Long
- Bukrrairong
- Ngerbechetei Islets
- Ngetkuml
- Ngerumetochel
- Ngedesakr
- Tengetcheyangel
- Toirius
- Ngertechiel
- Meduu
and Itabchemingl , a peninsula that juts out from the southern Ngermeuangel Peninsula far north into the bay. The islands form the landmarks for a subdivision of the bay into the partial bays Nikko Bay and Ikesiil Bay , as well as the Ngerikuul Canal . In the south, Ulebsechel pushes itself far into the bay with the winding peninsula of Ngeteklou . The channel is demarcated to the southeast, towards the sea, by the two islets of Ucheliungs and Ngerchebukl .
