Manam and Rabaul, 1997

(Related pages: Manam, October 1998, July 1999. Rabaul September 1994, September 1999)

GMS visible image, of Manam and Rabaul erupting simultaneously

Image Source: GMS visible
Date: 1 June 1997, 0633 UTC

Comments: Manam is a consistently active volcano. Activity during this month at Manam was actually reported as being relatively mild; nevertheless, a plume was clearly visible on this day. The plume from Rabaul was due to a Strombolian eruption at Tavurvur cone. Strong southerly winds blew this plume north-northwest.
