Iras is, at 229 meters, the loftiest peak on Weno. The mountain is the legendary home of the god Souwariras and his divine son. Situated by the Wichon Falls, the Wichon Men's Meeting House was the spot where Weno chiefs were reported to have meetings with Poomey, eldest of the six brothers who were the first chiefs of Chuuk. The shallow pool at the base of the Falls is still used for bathing and sport, just as it was in historic times. The site of Poomey's dwelling on a mountaintop may be seen from nearby villages.
