==Geography==
Asuncion is a densely forested island, roughly elliptical in shape, with a length of {{convert|3.3|km|mi}} and a width of {{convert|3|km|mi}} and an area of {{convert|7.9|sqkm|sqmi}}. The entire island is a massive [[stratovolcano]] which rises from the ocean floor to a height of {{convert|857|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} above sea level,<ref name=gvp>{{cite gvp | vnum=0804-15= | title=Asuncion}}</ref>
The volcano is asymmetrical, with steep northeast slopes terminating in high cliffs. The southwestern slopes are shallower and meet the sea in low cliffs. Coastlines are generally rocky.
