Summary
A 1994 eruption which buried <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Rabaul" title="Rabaul">Rabaul</a> involved the currently active Tavurvur Cone as well as Vulcan Cone, located across Blanche Bay to the south-west (not pictured). The city of Rabaul is located on the peninsula across the Great Harbor from Tavurvur. More than a foot of ash fell on parts of the city, and combined with rain, it collapsed many of the small city’s buildings and houses. White dots on the peninsula may be buildings or building sites.
