Vulcan, Stratovolcano in East New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea

The volcano contains multiple overlapping calderas formed through successive volcanic collapses and subsequent lava dome formations throughout its geological history.

The volcanic structure developed through several distinct phases, with the formation of the Il Piano caldera marking a significant early stage in its evolution.

Local communities monitor the volcanic activities closely, as the regular geological events have shaped the surrounding landscape and influenced regional settlement patterns.

The summit area features active fumaroles and thermal vents, requiring visitors to maintain safe distances and follow established safety protocols during geological observations.

The volcanic complex includes the Lentia dome system, which formed within an existing caldera and contains multiple vents displaying different eruption patterns.
