Lake Alofivai (French: Lac Alofivai) is a lake on the northeastern side of Wallis (Uvea) in the Pacific. It is located off Route 1 (RT1) adjacent to the village of Alofivai.[1] The lake is reportedly "often dry, and the bottom of the crater then affords pasture for the cows of the nearby mission schools."[2] However, during wetter periods, the lake is populated with frogs.[3]
