IEDA / DECADE Detail

Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution

Details for: Dakataua

Shown here is the 10.5 x 13.5 km Dakataua caldera at the N tip of the Willaumez Peninsula. Caldera-formatting activity occurred as recently as about 1,150 years ago. A 12-km-wide freshwater lake (foreground), whose surface is only about 50 m above sea level, occupies the caldera. This view from the W shows two maars (right center) and Mount Makalia (top left), which are located along a N-S-trending peninsula. Photo by Russell Blong, 1988 (Macquarie University).
