Tore

Tore is a volcano on Bougainville with a wide crater and steep slopes rising above the surrounding landscape. The crater walls display layers from earlier eruptions and varied rock formations.

The volcano formed through intense eruptions that created massive rock flows reaching toward the coast. These events fundamentally shaped the local landscape.

Local people have long viewed this volcano as part of their connection to the land, weaving it into their stories and daily life.

Visitors should arrange guides with local people and watch weather conditions closely, as the remote setting presents challenging travel conditions. Sturdy footwear and proper gear are needed for walking the terrain.

Within the southern area of the crater sits a smaller volcanic cone that developed long after the main formation, spreading lava flows across the surrounding land.
