Tavurvur is an active stratovolcano located near the town of Rabaul in East New Britain, Papua New Guinea. Part of the larger Rabaul caldera, Tavurvur is one of the most active and dangerous volcanoes in the region. Its eruptions have been known to cause significant ashfall, which can disrupt air travel and affect local communities. One of the most notable eruptions occurred in 1994, when Tavurvur and another nearby volcano, Vulcan, erupted simultaneously, leading to the destruction of much of Rabaul and the displacement of thousands of residents.
Kimbe Bay, located in the West New Britain Province of Papua New Guinea, is renowned for its stunning marine biodiversity and vibrant coral reefs. This picturesque bay is part of the Coral Triangle, often referred to as the "Amazon of the Seas," due to its rich marine life. Divers and snorkelers flock to Kimbe Bay to explore its underwater paradise, which includes over 900 species of fish and 400 species of coral. The bay is also home to several shipwrecks, making it a popular destination for wreck diving enthusiasts.
