'''Mount Lamlam''' (meaning ''[[lightning]]'' in [[Chamorro language|Chamoru]]) is a peak on the [[United States]] island of [[Guam]]. It is located near the village of [[Agat, Guam|Agat]] ({{convert|5|km|mi|0|abbr=on|disp=or}}<ref name=NearestCity/> north), in the south-west of the island.

Rising to {{convert|406|m|ft|sp=us}} above sea level, the distance from the peak to the bottom of the nearby [[Mariana Trench]] is said to be the greatest change in elevation on Earth over such a short distance.<ref>One internet site [http://ns.gov.gu/geography.html Geography of Guam] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/19961027163532/http://ns.gov.gu/geography.html |date=1996-10-27 }} claims the difference is {{convert|37820|ft|m|sigfig=4}}. However, this is measured relative to the [[Challenger Deep]], not the part of the trench adjacent to Guam.</ref>
