Likuruanga

About

Likuruanga is a stratovolcano in easternmost West New Britain Province on the island of New Britain, Papua New Guinea. Its low, dissected edifice contains a large volcanic crater that is breached to the north. The last known eruption from Likuruanga is prehistoric in age, having taken place during the Pleistocene epoch. A fatality occurred on Likuruanga's northern flank in September 2006 when a boy died in a hole at the village of Bakada. The cause of death was carbon dioxide asphyxiation.
