Godé

Godé is a summit in New Caledonia that rises 132 meters above sea level at coordinates 21°0'0"S, 164°53'0"E. From this point, visitors can see across the terrain and surrounding landscape of the islands.

The area where Godé stands was colonized by France in 1853, marking the beginning of French control over New Caledonia. This event changed how the islands were governed and administered.

Godé sits on traditional Kanak lands, where local communities maintain deep connections to the natural features that shape their world. The summit holds meaning for those who live in and know these islands.

Climbing Godé requires preparation for tropical weather with humidity and occasional rain. Early morning hours offer the best conditions for the ascent, as temperatures are cooler before the day warms up.

Height data for Godé was captured using the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, a project that gathered detailed mapping information for remote locations worldwide. These measurements have helped scientists better understand the island's terrain.
