This photograph was taken around 1958 long before this volcano erupted and obliterated the Township of Rabaul, New Britain. On October 7, 2006, Rabaul Volcano on the northeastern tip of New Britain produced a large-scale eruption. According to ReliefWeb, the eruption shook windows and rained heavy ash and small stones on the city of Rabaul as authorities declared a state of emergency.
