Rabaul volcano on the island of Papua New Guinea
Continuing a pattern of intermittent activity that lasted several days, the Rabaul Volcano on Papua New Guines island of New Britain released a plume on March 18, 2008.
This image shows the plume from Rabaul blowing northwest over the Bismarck Sea, gradually dissipating as it moves. Although light in color, the plume is not pure white; volcanic ash likely mingles with water vapor in the volcanoas emissions. Much brighter than the plume, opaque white clouds hover over the lush green islands of New Britain and neighboring New Ireland. Volcanic ash may have mixed with the clouds west of New Britain.
Rabaul Volcano sits on the end of the Gazelle Peninsula on the northeast end of New Britain. It is a pyroclastic shield volcano, meaning it is formed by ash, pumice, rock fragments, and other leftovers from earlier eruptions, and its flat shape resembles an ancient warrior shield. Only 688 meters (2, 257 feet) tall, Rabaul has a low profile, and the caldera had formed a natural harbor for what once was New Britainas biggest city

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Rabaul volcano on the island of Papua New Guinea in all its majestic glory. The image showcases a plume released by the volcano on March 18,2008, as part of its intermittent activity that lasted several days. The plume can be seen blowing northwest over the Bismarck Sea, gradually dissipating as it moves. Although light in color, the plume is not pure white; volcanic ash likely mixes with water vapor in the volcano's emissions. The photograph also reveals opaque white clouds hovering over the lush green islands of New Britain and neighboring New Ireland. These clouds may have incorporated volcanic ash from west of New Britain into their composition. Situated at the end of the Gazelle Peninsula on New Britain's northeast end, Rabaul Volcano is a pyroclastic shield volcano characterized by its flat shape resembling an ancient warrior shield. Despite being only 688 meters (2,257 feet) tall, Rabaul has played a significant role historically as it formed a natural harbor for what was once Papua New Guinea's largest city. This stunning image serves as a testament to both nature's power and beauty captured expertly by Stocktrek Images.
