Mount Gharat or Mount Garet (797 m), a somma volcano, is the highest peak on the volcanic island of Gaua of the Banks Islands in northern Vanuatu.
The peak is located at the centre of the island, is volcanically active and is surrounded by Lake Letas on all sides except the southwest.
The volcano has slightly different names, depending on which of the local languages is being considered. It is known as Garet pronounced as /ɣaˈrɛt/ in Nume, Grāt pronounced as /ɣraːt/ in Dorig, Gerät pronounced as /ɣɛˈrɛ͡at/ in Koro, Gäräs pronounced as /ɣæˈræs/ in Lakon. The spelling Gharat found sometimes on maps is an attempt at transcribing Mota or Olrat Garat pronounced as /ɣarat/.
All these names come from a Proto-Torres-Banks form *ɣarati, whose literal meaning is “itching, burning” ‒ perhaps in relation to the volcano's toxic fumes.
