Bola (volcano)


The Bola volcano, also known as Wangore, is an andesitic stratovolcano, located south-west of the Dakataua caldera in New Britain, Papua New Guinea. It is tall and has a wide summit crater.
The most recent lava flow was erupted from the summit crater and flowed to the west. This viscous flow is at least 50 m thick, thus leaving an irregularity in the profile of the volcano. The unforested summit crater and weak fumarolic activity suggest that the most recent eruption may have been only a few hundred years ago.
