Вануа-Лава, Active volcano in Banks Islands, Vanuatu
The Vanua Lava volcano rises to 921 meters and forms part of a complex volcanic system on the island of the same name.
The first recorded volcanic activity dates back to 1841, with subsequent eruptions occurring through 1965, lasting nearly one year.
The island maintains traditional Melanesian practices while supporting a population of over 2,500 residents who primarily speak Mosina and Vatrata languages.
The village of Sola, situated 5 kilometers southeast of the volcano center, serves as the administrative center of Torba Province with an airfield.
The volcano's slopes contain hot springs and fumaroles, with thermal waters descending to 300 meters during periods of activity.
