LANGILA

'Langila' is one of the most active volcanoes of New Britain, Papua New Guinea. It consists of four overlapping volcanic cones on the eastern flank of an older extinct volcano, Talawe. There have been dozens of recorded eruptions since the 19th century from three separate volcanic craters at the summit. The most recent eruptive cycle of Langila began in August 2006 and continues into early 2007. Volcanic activity at Langila consists of Strombo-Vulcanian and Vulcanian eruptions and lava flows.
