	Tavurvur, Rabaul Caldera, New Britain Island, Papua New Guinea
		It was the last eruption at Tavurvur prior to the 1994 eruption.
		In March, a lava mound was observed inside the crater of Tavurvur.
		Tavurvur (also called Matupi) is a stratavolcano associated with the Rabaul caldera.

	Tavurvur - InformationBlast
		Tavurvur is a stratovolcano in Papua New Guinea.
		It is a sub-vent of the Rabaul caldera and lies on the eastern rim of the larger feature.
		In 1994, in conjunction with another vent, Vulcan, the eruptions of Tavurvur forced the abandonment of the city of Rabaul and the relocation of the local administrative centres.

	Global Volcanism Program - Rabaul - Volcanic Activity Reports [#1] (Mirror)
		Vulcan and Tavurvur, two vents on opposite sides of Rabaul Caldera (figures 15 and 12), erupted on the morning of 19 September and sent ash as high as 18 km asl.
		During this eruption, Tavurvur was active for <1 day, but activity at Vulcan built the cone from sea level to a height of 243 m.
		Phreatic eruptions occurred at Tavurvur in February and March 1940, and intermittent explosive eruptions from June 1941 to March or April 1942 left a small crater on the floor of the larger 1937 crater.

	AGU Web Site: Taking Petrologic Pathways Toward Understanding Rabaul's Restless Caldera
		Tavurvur and Vulcan are two eruption centers within the Rabaul caldera complex; they were formed during the Holocene.
		The September 19 eruption began at Tavurvur, producing an ash plume that was driven by southeast winds toward the town, and which caused darkness and ashfalls.
		Tavurvur produced mainly dark-brown, fine-grained, phreatomagmatic ash, but Vulcan material was mainly pumice and lighter-colored, coarser ash.

		During 8-14 October summit activity at Tavurvur, a stratovolcano of the Rabaul Caldera, remained low and was dominated by weak-to-moderate emissions of white vapor.
		Only white vapor was released from Tavurvur; emissions were blown to the SE and E resulting in vegetation being killed in the town of South Daughter (~2 km to the E).
		Rabaul caldera's active Tavurvur cone continued to emit ash during 15-21 August, although there was a slight decline in the frequency of emissions in comparison to earlier weeks.

		On the morning of 24 September, a marked decline was evident in the activity at Vulcan, and a lesser decline was seen at Tavurvur.
		The base of the Tavurvur sequence was marked by a blue-grey very fine ash that appeared to be rich in sulphides.
		The fact that a dense plume of ash and aerosols did not remain in the upper atmosphere suggests that the ash plume was composed mostly of large particulates that fell out of the atmosphere near and just downwind from the volcano.

	Rabaul Caldera, New Britain Island
		Phreatic eruptions occurred at Tavurvur in Feb. and March 1940, and intermittent explosive eruptions from June 1941 to April 1942 left a small crater on the floor of the larger 1937 crater.
		Although the external shape of Tavurvur appears to be little different, the internal crater structure was totally changed by the 1994 eruption.
		The Tavurvur eruption which began in Nov. 1995 was continued into May 1996, waned and then stopped on June 5, but resumed on June 17 and continued into September.

	Summary of Rabaul Caldera, Papua New Guinea
		Following a 27-hour period of intense earthquake activity, Tavurvur and Vulcan volcanoes on opposite sides of the Rabaul caldera erupted on September 19, 1994, at 6:05 a.m.
		Another lava flow was erupted from Tavurvur in March 1997, and a strong explosion generated a small pyroclastic flow on April 12.
		Tavurvur and Vulcan also erupted together in 1878 and 1937-43; an eruption between May 29 and June 2, 1937, killed more than 500 people.

	Air Niugini - Discovering Rabaul
		We stepped ashore on the beach at the foot of the volcano, and stared in silence at the high wall of fl lava and pumice that had made its journey from the spectral mountain in the background.
		Tavurvur continued to spit and seethe during our short stay, while Vulcan lay sullen and impotent across the harbour.
		Since the 1994 eruption of Tavurvur, all activity is monitored closely, so one does not feel any threat; rather a healthy respect and fascination for these mysterious sentinels of Rabaul.

		The centerpiece attraction is certainly the ruins of the once thriving town of Rabaul, destroyed by the 1994 eruption of nearby Tavurvur and the ensuing mudslides.
		Tavurvur is still active and smoking, and hundreds of people who managed to survive the last event (mostly from luck in being upwind from the crater) remain in constant fear of the inevitable.
		In 1937, Tavurvur and Vulcan erupted causing widespread damage and killing hundreds on the peninsula, only for the people to experience more suffering at the hands of the Japanese a few years later in WWII.

		Almost exactly five years ago the town of Rabaul, was devastated by a volcanic eruption that covered the provincial capital and port with several metres of ash, and forced thousands of people to abandon their homes.
		Rabaul residents are proud of the fact that the town is the only human settlement in the world built entirely within the rim of an active volcano.
		The smoking peak of Tavurvur, is just one of several surrounding the town, all of them just small vents in the rim of the caldera which collapsed 6,000 years ago and created the perfect natural harbour which is the lifeblood of the landlocked Gazelle Peninsular.

		The current eruption at Rabaul Caldera, Papua New Guinea, commenced in September 1994 with eruption from both Vulcan and Tavurvur volcanoes on opposing sides of the caldera.
		Water contents (~2wt%) in dacitic melt inclusions measured by others show the dacite magma was probably volatile-saturated at 50MPa which is in agreement with the shallow depth to the low velocity anomaly identified in the RELACS experiment.
		The combined observations of hybridisation with basaltic magma and the moderately large SO flux at Tavurvur (~500 ktons during Phase 1; TOMS and COSPEC data reported by Roggensack) but not Vulcan, indicate the probable confinement of a mafic magma injection to the northeastern sector of the active caldera.

		Eruptions in 1934 and 1994 had simultaneous activity at Vulcan and Tavurvur cones which are on opposite sides of the caldera, separated by about 6 km.
		The vents at Vulcan on the west and Tavurvur on the east must be connected, either through narrow pathways or a large central magma reservoir.
		Tomographic results show a rather small low-velocity zone at shallow depths in the central part of the caldera which is probably a source of magma, but it is still uncertain if there is a large reservoir at greater depth underlying the caldera.

		The first vent to erupt was the Tavurvur cone on the east side of the caldera just before dawn (estimates range from 3:00 to 6:00 A.M.); it was followed by eruptions from Rabalanakaia, on the northeast side of the caldera.
		Both Vulcan and Tavurvur are sending up plumes of ash, although the plume from Tavurvur is whitish in color whereas that from Vulcan is flish-grey.
		Vulcan and Tavurvur were the main active vents in that eruption as well.

	Volcano Eruptions: Volcano eruptions and war are part of village's history
		The tropical port, more than 100 years old, has been shaken and scarred by devastating volcanic eruptions and war, but keeps rising from the ashes, dusted off and rebuilt by its people who are used to living under the volcano.
		Rabaul, on the Gazelle Peninsula at the eastern end of the island of New Britain, is known, fittingly, as volcano town and is built on an old volcanic crater and surrounded by six active and dormant volcanoes.
		After the eruption of Tavurvur and Vulcan in September 1994, much of Rabaul and nearby villages were destroyed, though timely evacuations meant only a few lives were lost.

		A small lava flow came from a vent near Tavurvur and flowed slowly for about 25 days.
		Also, some of the clouds of ash eruptions collapsed back on themselves and a mixture of ash and gases flowed rapidly down the side of the volcanoes and out into the bay.
