A vulcanologist in the island's capital, Rabaul, said yesterday that the Mt Pago volcano, about 50km south of the town of Kimbe, began erupting on Monday, but there had been no lava flows.
Vulcanologists said Mt Pago was a young volcano - its cone was probably only about 350 years old - but it was part of a much larger volcanic complex.
New Zealand vulcanologist Jerome Lecointre, of Massey University, said the eruption seemed to be mild.

People are much more likely to believe vulcanologists if they understand a little bit about what can happen when a volcano erupts.
Vulcanologists had some warning and some safety measures were taken, but even so 57 people were killed and over $1,000 million worth of engineering work was needed after the eruption to prevent flooding.
The public need to know what vulcanologists are doing to try to predict when the volcano will erupt.

There were ash eruptions from the top of the volcano (especially on 8 and 12 June) and lava was erupted along two flank fissures.
The theory of how to respond when a volcano erupts had to be put into practice by Massey vulcanologist Dr Shane Cronin when he was in Vanuatu earlier this month.
He was working for UNESCO on the Vanuatu island of Ambrym, north of the capital of Port Vila, running a series of community-based workshops teaching people how to respond in times of volcanic activity, when the nearby Lopevi volcano erupted.

Bob Tilling, a vulcanologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, says while scientists can learn from each eruption, that data doesn't necessarily translate from one mountain to another.
While aid workers deal with the difficult logistics of getting food and fresh water to about 400,000 people, vulcanologists around the world are compiling data on the latest eruption of this relatively new volcano, which has probably been active for a few thousand years.
With the proper equipment, scientists can pick up precursors to an eruption, said Bob Tilling, a vulcanologist with the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
