  • Deadly Volcano & Lava Flow Damage - Kimbe
    Deadly Volcano & Lava Flow
    Damage

    New Britain is one of the most active volcano areas in PNG. The town of Rabaul at the eastern tip of the island was largely destroyed in 1997 by a sustained series of eruptions. The area around Kimbe Bay itself also has a fine display of volcanic peaks. This photo was taken between Kimbe and Rabaul as I flew from Port Moresby and shows some of the lava flow damage caused to the rain forest by an eruption that had taken place only a few months before. In fact, a couple of researchers were killed here in 1979 when they were overcome by poisonous gas fumes from one of the volcano vents.
