| Manam Volcano: Manam, with a plume of smoke attesting to its ongoing activity, is off the northeastern coast of Papua New Guinea and rises to an elevation of 1807 m. The first known eruption of Manam was in 1616, and in 1994 an explosive eruption sent ash and incandescent material 10 km into the air. Plumes of sediment enter the sea at the mouths of the Sepik (large river at left) and the Ramu Rivers (closer to Manam), following heavy rains from a recent tropical storm. |
