Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-12595

The Takuan Group in southern Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea, is shown in this Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 12.5 km across). The group contains three edifices along a NW-SE trend, all of which have probable collapse scarps, and erosion on the flanks. The volcano in the center has a lava dome that has formed within the scarp. Satellite image courtesy of Planet Labs Inc., 2018 (https://www.planet.com/).
