An unexpected eruption
at Tavurvur occurred
on 29 August 2014 . Tavurvur cone is located in Rabaul
caldera on New Britain, Papua New Guinea. The eruption sent an ash cloud 18 km
into the atmosphere. Crops were destroyed as a result of the ash fall out and
flights were diverted. Several local communities were evacuated as a
precautionary measure. Activity began to subside during September.
