Eruptions at Rabaul Volcano
December 9, 2009 | NASA Earth Observatory

Since a major eruption in 1994 forced the complete evacuation of nearby communities, Rabaul Volcano on the island of New Britain has remained intermittently active. Rabaul is a large caldera volcano whose eastern rim has been breached and flooded by the sea. Numerous vents and cones occur around the rim, including Tavurvur Cone, which was erupting when this image was captured.
